Samenvatting
Performing musicians face the question of how to best achieve an expressive performance. Should they, for instance, feel the emotions present in the music, or should they rather rely on the use of appropriate technical means, such as tempo, dynamics, articulation, and timbre? Moreover, does their focus have an effect on the characteristics and perception of their performances? The research compiled in this thesis investigates the role of performers’ experienced emotions in practice and performance, as well as the effect of performers’ focus on the sound, movement, and perception of their performances. To this end, five studies were conducted encompassing a range of research methods.
