摘要：Welcome to the latest issue of Music Performance Research. As usual, it contains articles representing a wide range of interests and disciplines. Alan Dodson explores the relation-ship between expressive timing and phrase structure in an empirical study of recordings of three Chopin preludes. Noola Griffiths interviewed female soloists on the topic of their con-cert dress choices and relates these to the value systems underlying classical music perfor-mance and its social practices. Nicky Losseff considers the role of projective identification (a term coined by the psychiatrist and psychotherapist Anthony Storr) in the relationship be-tween the musical contemplator (listener and/or performer) and the music that is contem-plated. Finally, Jennifer Mishra reports the findings of an experiment investigating the rela-tive efficiency of four strategies for the deliberate memorization of a short piece of music. We are grateful, as ever, to the Action Editors and reviewers who have given so generously of their time and expertise
