Visualization in comparative music research

2007

Computational analysis of large musical corpora provides an approach that overcomes some of the limitations of manual analysis related to small sample sizes and subjectivity. The present paper aims to provide an overview of the computational approach to music research. It discusses the issues of music representation, musical feature extraction, digital music collections, and data mining techniques. Moreover, it provides examples of visualization of large musical collections.

Importance of Enharmonic Tone Spelling in Computational Analysis of Tonal Structure

2009

This paper will discuss various instances of enharmonic spellings of chords. Selected characteristic enharmonic chords in compositions of the tonal period will be presented. The paper's main purpose is to show: (1) the importance of the enharmonic spelling of chords/tones in the automated analysis of tonal music, (2) how the analysis of the relative strength of a given key range is modified when we take into account its enharmonic spellings, (3) the problem of enharmonic spelling in characteristic chords (For example in the Tristan chord), (4) the interdependence between the enharmonic spelling in a given piece of music and the whole tonal structure (relationship between given key ranges).
