Polyphonic music classification remains a very challenging area in the field of music information retrieval. In this study, we explore the performance of monophonic models on single parts that are extracted from the polyphony. The presented method is specifically designed for the case of voiced polyphony, but can be extended to any type of music with multiple parts. On a dataset of 207 Haydn an...

This paper formally characterizes the expressiveness of three approaches for polyphonic pattern representation and matching: R (relational patterns); H (Humdrum); and SPP (Structured Polyphonic Patterns). Relational networks have the highest expressiveness but H and SPP admit faster matching algorithms. It is shown how H and SPP can be cast as different restrictions of R, both providing an expr...

The evolution of tonal-harmonic syntax in European notated music, from the beginnings of polyphony to the emergence of majorminor tonality, has been the subject of intense historical study. Several authors have also attempted statistical analyses of the frequency of occurrence of specific pitch-time patterns in specific periods or composers. But no-one has compared prevalence profiles across di...
