Paper “Pour un système de quantification de la complexité de réalisation pianistique. L’exemple de José Vianna da Motta”

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.
