What Defines a Melody? A MIDI Musical Line Classification on Features Relative from the Musical Line to the Musical Piece
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to test which musical aspects relate to what defines the melody in a musical piece, a method for feature selection, and an implementation for phrase segmentation of musical pieces have been proposed. The melody classification by the selected features have performed according to the highest performances in this field on the MIDI datasets that were used. MIDI datasets were used in order to simplify the extraction of musical aspects.

Classification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...
متن کاملMusical features of intermediate complexity for music recognition
To achieve my goal, I developed a theory of musical features inspired by Ullman's Goldilocks theory for visual features. I implemented a computer program that analyzes instrumental (MIDI) versions of the songs to extract relevant parameters for my model. This program also identifies music pieces based on a melody contour of varying length and complexity. Finally I experimentally verified the hy...
متن کاملMining Digital Music Score Collections: Melody Extraction and Genre Recognition
In the field of computer music, pattern recognition algorithms are very relevant for music information retrieval (MIR) applications. Two challenging tasks in this area are the automatic recognition of musical genre and melody extraction, having a number of applications like indexing and selecting musical databases. One of the main references for music is its melody. In a practical environment o...
متن کاملFeature-Driven Classification of Musical Styles
In this paper we address the problem of musical style classification, which has a number of applications like indexing in musical databases or automatic composition systems. Starting from MIDI files of real-world improvisations, we extract the melody track and cut it into overlapping segments of equal length. From these fragments, some numerical features are extracted as descriptors of style sa...
متن کاملMusical Pattern Extraction: from Repetition to Musical Structure
In the context of musical analysis, we propose an algorithm that automatically induces patterns from polyphonies. We define patterns as “perceptible repetitions in a musical piece”. We claim that a link can be established between the patterns that we extract and the musical structure of the piece. Our aim is that the patterns we extract are perceptively relevant although several perceptive crit...
