Temporal control and hand movement efficiency in skilled music performance.

The multiple regression coefficient, R , from the fits to each finger was highly significant (multiple R ’s >.90, p <.001) as were each of the standardized beta coefficients for each tempo ( p ’s <.001; the only exception was finger 3′s wrist rotation at tempo 9.6 tones per second with a p -value of 0.367).

The same correlations were computed at the level of individual pianists ( n = 12); these correlations approached significance for the timing variability measures ( r = –.540, p = .070) and reached significance for tone intensity CV’s ( r = –.58, p <.05).
