A close freind of mine did this study and the following results are from a McGill University study
you can either go there at
http://www.music.mcgill.ca/musictech/clarinet/
or read the following(used with permission.
it is also easier if you simply go to the site to see the graphs.

Hmmm
The applications to the game of baseball, and especially to pitchers, is an itch waiting to be scratched (sic)

Wow...
Really cool study...
A couple of questions (which may not be answerable by anyone here) and comments:
1. Was any quality assigned to the performances given when the players were told to be "immobile"?? In other words, were the clarinetists able to play AS WELL while immobile as when playing "normally"?
"Although expressive movements are an integral part of the performance, clarinettists were able to play without significant movements."
2. Some of the graphics are potentially misleading. The different performances of excerpts do NOT always line up time-points on three different graphs (one "normal," one "exaggerated," and one "immobile").
3. Really neat to see this kind of work being done!

Important work done indeed - first I asked myself whether this research bears any relevance, or what does it answer...empirical description doesn´t come up with its own conditions and whereabouts all on its own, nor does it implicate anything just on automatic, but this "gesture-controlled flanger" mentioned in the section "applicatins" is an intriguing idea, and I cherished that great Boulez´ "Domaines" was used during the research. Although there´s work in this area already at concert performnance level, as far as I know, only for modern dance (data-glove and other movement-controlled sound-sources) and koto, for clarinet this is still missing, and the prospects of that modelling are promising.
Thank You very much for the link!

I am a big baseball fan as well, and of course the fact movements and specific movements seem to implicate a process at work may be enough to develop this study further.
The freind involved here Jean Guy Boisvert. He is a colleague at Universite de Moncton and is an expert in contemporary music.

Thanks Mark for resorting out the shortcut. My computer skills are nil.
