Interactive data mining & machine learning techniques for musicology

Background in history of music. The German Baroque music composer Georg Philipp Telemann was one of the most influential composers of his time with a large repertoire of musical styles. The reflection of musical influences of Telemann on other composers and the detection of musical influences in Telemann's œuvre are interesting research questions. Moreover, Telemann's approach to compositional problems, especially the treatment of the libretto in his vocal work, has been intensively studied during the last years. All these open musicological questions raise the demand for an extensive analysis of scores. Considering the pure amount of Telemann's œuvre and the multitude of corpus analysis tasks, the contrastive analysis of domain experts should be supported by powerful and adaptable software tools.
