Contrast pairs in music instruction: on depiction and stance-taking

This dataset was analyzed as part of the dissertation project "Contrast pairs in music instruction: on depiction and stance-taking. The dataset contains video clips that served as examples in the dissertation. Next to that, dataset comprises exports from annotations made in video data that served as the basis for descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. Datasets and scripts for an inter-coder agreement test are provided. The study investigates how instructors in musical settings (orchestra rehearsal, string quartet master class) use contrast pairs in the instructional process. During contrast pairs, instructors set up a contrast between two performance versions, one desired and one undesired. Contrast pairs are approached in this dissertation as a case study for composite and complex stance meanings. Across two video corpora, different sub-phenomena were analyzed: the multimodal and sequential structure of contrast pairs, simultaneous expressions of contrasts across speech and gesture, and mocking depictions during contrast pairs. As a whole, this dissertation contributes to the growing body of work on multimodal stance-taking.
