Musical style recognition - a quantitative approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background in history of music. In music history it is often considered important to have a reliable overview of the oeuvre of a certain composer. Unfortunately many pieces exist of which the composer cannot be determined with great certainty. Not rarely this leads to authorship-discussions. Various kinds of evidence are used to defend an attribution. These can be categorized into external and internal evidence (Love, 2002). Stylistic evidence is a subcategory of the latter.

Learning Musical Structure and Style by Recognition, Prediction and Evolution
We present an approach for modelling the recognition, prediction and evolution of musical structure and style based on unsupervised and supervised learning techniques. Unsupervised learning is proposed to classify musical structure leading to a distributed representation of structural elements. Prediction in time may be learned by neural networks. A multi-scale neural network model is presented...
متن کاملComposer attribution by quantifying compositional strategies
Taking a theory of musical style, developed by Leonard B. Meyer, as a starting point, an experiment is described in which statistical pattern recognition algorithms are used to characterize a particular musical style with respect to other styles. The resulting description can be used in authorship discussions. In the current study, a number of disputed organ works from the Bach catalog is used ...
متن کاملA Shallow Description Framework for Musical Style Recognition
In the field of computer music, pattern recognition algorithms are very relevant for music information retrieval (MIR). One challenging task within this area is the automatic recognition of musical style, that has a number of applications like indexing and selecting musical databases. In this paper, the classification of monophonic melodies of two different musical styles (jazz and classical) r...
متن کاملA Rule-Based Expert System for Musical Style Recognition
Musical style recognition is somehow intrinsic to human nature: the average layperson can tell the difference between a motet by Josquin and a symphony by Beethoven. But things change when it comes to computers. Musical style and its transformations take place in ways musicology still cannot perfectly define. Until now, computer-aided research on style has greatly privileged the rule-based appr...
متن کاملLearning Regular Grammars to Model Musical Style: Comparing Different Coding Schemes
An application of Grammatical Inference (GI) in the field of Music Processing is presented, were Regular Grammars are used for modeling musical style. The interest in modeling musical style resides in the use of these models in applications, such as Automatic Composition and Automatic Musical Style Recognition. We have studied three GI Algorithms, which have been previously applied successfully...
