🎹 What is MusicalDNA?
MusicalDNA is an advanced AI-powered tool specifically designed to analyze and assess piano performances in terms of interpretative style. Developed over two and a half years by a team including experts from ETH Zurich, Swiss Data Science Center, Kalaidos Fachhochschule, and renowned musicians, MusicalDNA provides a unique window into your interpretative choices, comparing them to the "grandmaster ancestry"—legendary pianists of the late 19th and 20th centuries.
