Abstract：
When sight-reading a score, a timpanist needs to decide in real-time which stick to use to play a specific note while interpreting the musical material. Our main point of inquiry seeks to understand which sticking patterns performers employ and how they are affected by rhythmic stability. This paper analyzes the bi-manual sequencing (i.e., sticking) patterns of 31 timpanists in a sight-reading task. We analyze their results compared to model sticking patterns common in percussion pedagogical literature. Results show that while hand dominance plays an essential role in an individual\'s sticking pattern, the stability of a rhythmic pattern may also dramatically influence the observed particular sticking strategies. In areas of rhythmic stability, performers largely adhered to one of two conventional sticking patterns in the literature (dominant hand lead & alternating). Where rhythmic patterns became more unstable, the performers separated into diverse sticking groups. Moreover, several performers demonstrated sticking patterns which were hybrids or an inverse of the model sticking patterns, without any impact on the success of their sight-reading abilities. Overall, no two individual performers demonstrated the same sticking pattern. In terms of percussion pedagogy, our findings suggest that performers may benefit from an awareness of the adaptability of model sticking strategies. Lastly, we make the case for further study of rhythmic stability and bi-manual sequencing by locating the difference between notational and aural complexity.
摘要：
当视觉阅读分数时，定时符需要实时决定在解释音乐材料时使用哪种坚持来演奏特定的音符。我们的主要调查点旨在了解表演者采用的粘贴模式以及节奏稳定性如何影响它们。本文分析了双手动测序(即，坚持)31名定时主义者在视力阅读任务中的模式。与打击乐教学文献中常见的模型粘贴模式相比，我们分析了他们的结果。结果表明，虽然手部优势在个体的粘附模式中起着至关重要的作用，节奏模式的稳定性也可能极大地影响观察到的特定粘附策略。在节奏稳定的地区，表演者在很大程度上坚持文献中的两种常规粘贴模式之一（优势手引导和交替）。节奏模式变得更加不稳定的地方，表演者分成不同的群体。此外，几个表演者展示了粘附模式，这些模式是模型粘附模式的混合或相反，对他们的视力阅读能力的成功没有任何影响。总的来说,没有两个表演者表现出相同的粘附模式。就打击乐教学法而言，我们的研究结果表明，表演者可能会受益于对模型粘贴策略适应性的认识。最后,通过定位符号和听觉复杂性之间的差异，我们为进一步研究节律稳定性和双手动排序提供了依据。
