Publication in the Canadian scientific musical journal of the Observatoire interdisciplinaire de création et recherche en musique of an article in which I propose a quantification system of the processes involved in the cognitive representation of the pianistic realization of musical passages. Through the example of José Vianna da Motta, I use this system to evaluate the intrinsic complexity of the different piano solutions of a same musical passage.
