Using Linear Mixed-Effects Models to Analyze Historical Trends in Performance Strategies . Commentary on Majid Motavasseli’s Article “Interpretation of Cyclic Form in Bach’s ‘Goldb... by Bruno Gingras

“…Using a tempo measurement database comprising seventy-six selected recordings of the “Goldberg” cycle, I built a linear mixed-effects model predicting the main tempo for each recording from the following parameters: performer, variation number, instrument (piano or harpsichord), year of recording, variation type, and finally mode (major/minor) of the variation. Two statistically significant interactions emerged: a two-way interaction between instrument and mode, and a three-way interaction between instrument, year of recording, and variation type. …”
