A Boolean theory of signatures for tonal scales
We explore the concept of tonal signatures developed and put into musical practice by one of us (Mezzadri). A tonal signature of a scale S is a minimal subset of notes within S that is not contained in any scale S' different from S. We present a set covering model to find a smallest signature. We also show that the signatures of a scale are the prime implicants of a suitable monotone Boolean fu...
متن کاملTonal Profiles of Artificial Scales: Implications for Music Learning
Music researchers have noted that structurally important tones in a melody are related to one another by perfect intervals (fifths and octaves) and occur frequently and in melody-final position. Here we ask whether the latter two cues—frequency and final position—have melodic significance for tone collections lacking perfect intervals. Three sets of melodies were generated from a whole-tone sca...
متن کاملA Theory of Tonal Hierarchies in Music
musical structure of a culture or genre” (Bharucha 1984, p. 421). So, unlike tonal hierarchies that refer to cognitive representations of the structure of music across different pieces of music in the style, event hierarchies refer to a particular piece of music and the place of each event in that piece. The two hierarchies occupy complementary roles. In listening to music or music-like experim...
متن کاملTonal Music Theory—a Psychoacoustic Explanation?
From the seventeenth century to the present day, tonal harmonic music has had a number of invariant properties such as the use of specific chord progressions (cadences) to induce a sense of closure, the asymmetrical privileging of certain progressions, and the privileging of the major and minor scales. The most widely accepted explanation has been that this is due to a process of enculturation:...
متن کاملTheory of hybrid differential equations on time scales
In this paper, we develop the theory of hybrid differential equations on time scales. An existence theorem for hybrid differential equations on time scales is given under Lipschitz conditions. Some fundamental fractional differential inequalities are also established which are utilized to prove the existence of extremal solutions. Necessary tools are considered and the compa...
