Accuracy of performed note durations relative to each other compared to implied relationships from notation.
Sense of pulse, regardless of accuracy of rhythms. Amount of time from beat to beat is consistent (aside from musically appropriate changes)
Accuracy of pitches compared to printed notation
Intonation relative to the performance (not relative to an absolute standard, e.g. A=440)
Accuracy of articulations (onsets and releases of notes) as compared to written articulations. Ambiguous notes have no discernible articulation. Incorrect notes are discernible, but not correct compared to notation (e.g., slur instead of staccato)
Dynamic Contrast = range of perceptible differences in volume Dynamic Accuracy = the extent to which relative changes in volume match relative changes in written dynamic markings
The extent to which the tone of the instrument is clear, resonant, appealing, and representative of the instrument. Tone quality can also vary between different ranges.
Clear = aspects of style are discernible Appropriate = discernible aspects are appropriate for the style of the musical excerpt Successful = the success with which the discernible aspects are executed
Musicianship refers to the making of "musical" decisions and the successful execution of those decisions. It is more than the sum total of the dimensions assessed above, but clearly involves execution within those dimensions
How difficult this excerpt appeared to be for the performer. The extent to which this excerpt presented a significant challenge to the performer.
