Extending a Network-of-elaborations Representation to Polyphonic Music: Schenker and Species Counterpoint
نویسنده
چکیده
A system of representing melodies as a network of elaborations has been developed, and used as the basis for software which generates melodies in response to the movements of a dancer. This paper examines the issues of extending this representation system to polyphonic music, and of deriving a structural representation of this kind from a musical score. The theories of Heinrich Schenker and of Species Counterpoint are proposed as potentially fruitful bases.

There are musical activities in which we are faced with symbolic and sub-symbolic processes. This research focuses on the question whether there is any advantage in integrating a neural network together with a distributed artiicial intelligence approach in the musical domain. In this work, we present a new approach for composing and analyzing polyphonic music. As a case study, we began experime...
متن کاملSecond Fiddle is Important Too: Pitch Tracking Individual Voices in Polyphonic Music
Recently, there has been much interest in automatic pitch estimation and note tracking of polyphonic music. To date, however, most techniques produce a representation where pitch estimates are not associated with any particular instrument or voice. Therefore, the actual tracks for each instrument are not readily accessible. Access to individual tracks is needed for more complete music transcrip...

The usefulness and desirability of representation schemes which explicitly show musical structure has often been commented upon. A particular aim of music theory and analysis has been to describe and derive musical structure, and this article discusses computational systems based on this work.

متن کاملModeling Temporal Dependencies in High-Dimensional Sequences: Application to Polyphonic Music Generation and Transcription
We investigate the problem of modeling symbolic sequences of polyphonic music in a completely general piano-roll representation. We introduce a probabilistic model based on distribution estimators conditioned on a recurrent neural network that is able to discover temporal dependencies in high-dimensional sequences. Our approach outperforms many traditional models of polyphonic music on a variet...
