Declarations
:
: This study demonstrates the importance of the phrase structure of the music and the empathic profile of the singer in piano-singing duos in establishing interperformer coordination power and leader-follower relationships between musicians during ensemble performances, respectively, as manifested in musicians’ body motion. These findings provide a novel contribution to research on interaction in music ensembles and performance science, by quantifying the relationships between body motion and phrase levels of the piece and revealing for the first time to our knowledge an association between body motion and empathy, in an ecologically valid situation.
