(1-5) How accurately did the system identify and play pieces from its library based on your requests? (1-5) How well did the system respond to requests for specific pianistic effects (e.g., "more pedal," "lighter touch")? (1-5) How convincing was the system's interpretation of articulation markings (e.g., slurs, accents, tenuto)? (1-5) To what extent did the system's performances capture the stylistic characteristics of different musical periods? (1-5) How did the visual feedback (e.g., webcam preview, tempo display) contribute to your overall interaction experience?

Advanced Pianistic Qualities

How would you rate the system's ability to convey a sense of musical tension and release through its performances? (1-5) To what degree did the system's performances exhibit a convincing sense of musical phrasing and breathing? (1-5) How well did the system handle the technical challenges of virtuosic passages? (1-5) How convincing was the system's execution of ornaments and embellishments? (1-5) To what extent did the system's performances reflect an understanding of the piano's resonance and acoustic properties? (1-5) How would you compare the overall pianistic quality of the system's performances to that of an advanced student pianist? (1-5) How well did the system adapt its performance style to different composers or historical periods when requested? (1-5)

Professional Insights and Future Implications
