 abstract = {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 in the Musical Analysis area,
the statistical techniques help to detect musical
subtleties with a small potential for bias, and because on
this corpus, Haydn has established standards for the
string quartet genre. The pitch registers study allowed us
to identify relevant musical aspects in the repertoire,
understand the role of extreme registers in the form
segmentation, and observe the prominence of the
development and second theme sections, and the feasibility
of the quantitative methods. We present a brief
theoretical foundation, the methodological framework, the
results of the investigation on the quartets' instrument
pitches, a discussion about these results, and the
conclusions.},
