An Annotated Corpus of Tonal Piano Music from the Long 19th Century

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Johannes Hentschel

We present a dataset of 264 annotated piano pieces of nine composers, composed in the long 19th century (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7483349). Annotations adhere to the DCML harmony annotation standard and include Roman numerals, phrase boundaries, and ...

The diachronic development of Debussy’s musical style: a corpus study with Discrete Fourier Transform

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel, Gabriele Cecchetti, Sabrina Laneve, Ludovica Schaerf

Claude Debussy’s personal style is typically characterised as a departure from earlier diatonic tonality, including a greater variety of pitch-class materials organised in fragmented yet coherent compositions. Exploiting the music-theoretical interpretabil ...

Hearing functional harmony in jazz: A perceptual study on music-theoretical accounts of extended tonality

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti, Christoph Finkensiep

Functional harmony is an integral part of many repertoires in the Western musical practices, including both diatonic and extended tonality. In the latter context, music-theoretical accounts suggest that the three octatonic equivalence classes (OECs) consis ...

The experience of musical structure as computation : what can we learn?

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti, Christoph Finkensiep

This paper presents an overview of the epistemological grounding of the computational approach to musical syntax as a tool to advance our understanding of the cognitive underpinnings of the musical experience. From the proposed perspective, formulations of ...

The Impact of Voice Leading and Harmony on Musical Expectancy

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Robert Lieck, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth

In Western tonal music, voice leading (VL) and harmony are two central concepts influencing whether a musical sequence is perceived as well-formed. However, experimental studies have primarily focused on the effect of harmony on the cognitive processing of ...

Voice-leading Schema Recognition using Rhythm and Pitch Features

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep, Ken Jacques Alfonso Deguernel

Musical schemata constitute important structural building blocks used across historical styles and periods. They consist of two or more melodic lines that are combined to form specific successions of intervals. This paper tackles the problem of recognizing ...

Modelling the Syntax of North Indian Melodies with a Generalized Graph Grammar

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Christoph Finkensiep

Hierarchical models of music allow explanation of highly complex musical structure based on the general principle of recursive elaboration and a small set of orthogonal operations. Recent approaches to melodic elaboration have converged to a representation ...

Generalized Skipgrams for Pattern Discovery in Polyphonic Streams

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep

The discovery of patterns using a minimal set of assumptions constitutes a central challenge in the modeling of polyphonic music and complex streams in general. Skipgrams have been found to be a powerful model for capturing semi-local dependencies in seque ...
