New Visual Tools for Rhythmic Partitioning Analysis of Musical Texture

The _Partitional Theory of Texture_ provides a graphical tool, the _partitiogram_, to show relations between textural partitions. Despite its great utility, the partitiogram does not identify the occurrence frequency of each partition in a piece. In …

The purpose of this exhibition is to show an overview of the application of algorithms in recent studies in Computational Musicology and to present currently in use musical datasets.

A quantitative study of pitch registers in string quartets opus 17, by Joseph Haydn

In this paper, we present an exploratory study of the pitch registers on the string quartets Opus 17, by Joseph Haydn, according to a quantitative approach. This subject is relevant because the pitch registers studies have revealed noteworthy issues …

Contour Similarity Algorithms

The Musical Contour literature provides multiple algorithms for melodic contour similarity. However, most of them are limited in use by the melody length of input data. In this paper I review these algorithms, propose two new algorithms, compare them …
