Computational modeling of interval distributions in tonal space reveals paradigmatic stylistic changes in Western music history

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Robert Lieck

Diachronic stylistic changes in music are to a large extent affected by composers' different choices, for example regarding the usage of tones, intervals, and harmonies. Analyzing the tonal content of pieces of music and observing them over time is thus in ...

MuseReduce: A Generic Framework for Hierarchical Music Analysis

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Petter Harald Ericson

In comparison to computational linguistics, with its abundance of natural-language datasets, corpora of music analyses are rather fewer and generally smaller. This is partly due to difficulties inherent to the encoding of music analyses, whose multimodal r ...

The Annotated Mozart Sonatas: Score, Harmony, and Cadence

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Johannes Hentschel

This article describes a new expert-labelled dataset featuring harmonic, phrase, and cadence analyses of all piano sonatas by W.A. Mozart. The dataset draws on the DCML standard for harmonic annotation and is being published adopting the FAIR principles 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 ...

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 ...

Statistical characteristics of tonal harmony: A corpus study of Beethoven’s string quartets

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Daniel Harasim

Tonal harmony is one of the central organization systems of Western music. This article characterizes the statistical foundations of tonal harmony based on the computational analysis of expert annotations in a large corpus. Using resampling methods, this s ...

Distant Neighbors and Interscalar Contiguities

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Daniel Harasim

This paper studies the "integration" problem of nineteenth- century harmony the question whether the novel chromatic chord transitions in this time are a radical break from or a natural extension of the conventional diatonic system. We examine the connecti ...

Musical training intensity yields opposite effects on grey matter density in cognitive versus sensorimotor networks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras

Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we performed grey matter density analyses on 59 age-, sex- and intelligence-matched young adults with three distinct, progressive levels of musical training intensity or expertise. Structural brain adaptations in mu ...

Probabilistic Models for Melodic Prediction

Samy Bengio, Jean-François Paiement

Chord progressions are the building blocks from which tonal music is constructed. The choice of a particular representation for chords has a strong impact on statistical modeling of the dependence between chord symbols and the actual sequences of notes in ...
