This dissertation on data-driven music theory is centered around curatorial practices concerning the creation, publication, and evaluation of large, expert-annotated symbolic datasets. With its primary interest in the harmony of European tonal music from i ...
A motif is a frequently occurring subgraph of a given directed or undirected graph G (Milo et al.). Motifs capture higher order organizational structure of G beyond edge relationships, and, therefore, have found wide applications such as in graph clusterin ...
Organizing fingerings, i.e., choosing which fingers to press on which positions and strings, is a crucial step for playing the violin. As the violin fingering comprises several components, the mapping of a musical phrase to the corresponding fingering arra ...
Pitch-class distributions are of central relevance in music information retrieval, computational musicology and various other fields, such as music perception and cognition. However, despite their structure being closely related to the cognitively and musi ...
Rhythmic and discrete movements are frequently considered separately in motor control, probably because different techniques are commonly used to study and model them. Yet, an increasing interest for a comprehensive model for movement generation requires t ...
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 ...
