Do you have a good ear?
You will hear 5 short piano performances, some of which have artificially generated mistakes. Can you figure out which performances have mistakes?
This is a quick test meant to examine human ability of spotting mistakes in live music performances, so please try to answer after hearing the clips for the first time. (you can listen multiple times in test 2)
The short clips are from the Maestro dataset, consisting of MIDI recordings from ten years of International Piano-e-Competition.
Errors were artificially generated by modifying up to 5% of all notes by a semitone (up or down) in the selected cut. You can find the wav and midi files for all clips here.
The used performances are of classical pieces such as Fantasia in d minor (K.397) from Mozart and Winter wind (Étude Op. 25, No. 11 ) from Chopin, which are perhaps quite famous and most people have probably heard those parts at least once.

Sometimes spotting mistakes in performances is hard, but we could make it easier by listening to the recorded performance multiple times, or even compare versions.
You will hear the same 5 perfomance clips but with 2 versions each - one version is the original performance and the other version contains multiple artificially generated mistakes.
Can you tell which version is the one with errors?
No results yet :(
When sufficient number of people answer the questions some charts will be here.
Muisc is subjective in nature and so are musical errors.
