An IEEE 1599 framework to play music intuitively : the metapiano case study

This work aims at proposing an innovative way to approach music education. The idea is coupling the power of IEEE 1599, an XML-based international standard for music description, to the concept of music metainstruments, namely new interfaces conceived for a simplified interaction with music contents. The proposed framework will provide a tool for music practice, powered by the multiple and heterogeneous contents contained in an IEEE 1599 document. A case study based on Jean Haury's metapiano will be presented.
