Abstract In this paper a method is described which uses spectral analysis to capture systematic tempo and timing variations in timing profiles of piano performances. The method is tested on a large set of MIDI piano performances of two songs by the Beatles by performers from different backgrounds. It proved possible to demonstrate differences in the pieces and between performers using this method.
