Instrumental playing techniques such as vibratos, glissandos, and trills often denote musical expressivity, both in classical and folk contexts. However, most existing approaches to music similarity retrieval fail to describe timbre beyond…

Text-to-music generation has advanced rapidly, with modern autoregressive and diffusion-based models producing convincing music from natural-language prompts. However, much of this progress relies on large-scale training data and external…
