Visible Humour − Seeing P.D.Q. Bach’s Musical Humour Devices in The Short-Tempered Clavier on the Spiral Array Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the use of the Spiral Array spatial visualization of tonal evolution through time for the visual analysis of P.D.Q. Bach’s The ShortTempered Clavier. In particular, we analyze situations in which we can see some of the humour devices abstracted in an earlier study by David Huron. We conclude that although we can see a good number of Schickele’s humour devices − such as incongruent styles, musically improbable tonality and harmony shifts, and excessive repetition− we do not yet have sufficient information to form a robust computer-based method for detecting musical humour.

Streaming from MIDI Using Constraint Satisfaction Optimization and Sequence Alignment
We present a new system for separating streams in musical pieces encoded as MIDI files. Our approach is to: (1) divide the music under analysis into short segments, (2) analyze each segment using constraint satisfaction optimization, and (3) connect these analyses using a sequence alignment algorithm. Parameters for the system are learned automatically on a small training corpus and generalize ...

متن کاملPitch spelling using compactness
Pitch spelling addresses the question of how to derive traditional score notation from 12-tone pitch numbers or MIDI format. This paper proposes a pitch spelling algorithm that is based on only one principle: compactness in the Euler-lattice. The algorithm was evaluated on the first book of Bach’s Well-tempered Clavier and had a success rate of 98.98 %. The algorithm is compared with other mode...
