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 ...

Music processing in preterm and full-term newborns: A psychophysiological interaction (PPI) approach in neonatal fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Serafeim Loukas, François Lazeyras

Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) provide special equipment designed to give life support for the increasing number of prematurely born infants and assure their survival. More recently NICU's strive to include developmentally oriented care and modulate ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inpainting of Long Audio Segments With Similarity Graphs

Nathanaël Perraudin

We present a novel method for the compensation of long duration data loss in audio signals, in particular music. The concealment of such signal defects is based on a graph that encodes signal structure in terms of time-persistent spectral similarity. A sui ...

Guessing the fingerings from musical recordings

Paolo Prandoni, Arnaud Latty, Frederike Dümbgen

Synopsis: This project is about using musical recordings of string instruments to determine on which strings notes have been played. It includes the study of the spectral content of the recordings and the development of a robust classifica ...

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 ...

The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, c ...
