Abstract: In this paper the problem of music performer verification is introduced. Given a certain performance of a musical piece and a set of candidate pianists the task is to examine whether or not a particular pianist is the actual performer. A database of 22 pianists playing pieces by F. Chopin in a computercontrolled piano is used in the presented experiments. An appropriate set of features that captures the idiosyncrasies of music performers is proposed. Wellknown machine learning techniques for constructing learning ensembles are applied and remarkable results are described in verifying the actual pianist, a very difficult task even for human experts.
