extracts melodic patterns from a given melodic surface is presented; following the
assumption that the beginning and ending points of “significant” repeating musical patterns …

One of the pinnacles of form in classical Western music, the fugue is often used in the
teaching of music analysis and composition. Fugues alternate between instances of a …

Methods This section provides the necessary definitions and an overview of the algorithms
for pattern discovery. Some of the definitions and terminology are standard in the data …

Melody is an important property for the perceptual description of Western musical pieces. In
the monophonic context, retrieval systems based on melodic similarity generally consider …

We present MSM, a new maximal subset matching algorithm, for MIR at score level with
polyphonic texts and patterns. First, we argue that the problem MSM and its ancestors, the …

This paper presents a compositional hierarchical model for pattern discovery in symbolic
music. The model can be regarded as a deep architecture with a transparent structure. It can …

Nowadays, the availability of huge amount of music stored in digital format in public or
personal collections creates problems for their organization and for locating information …

Can a computer understand musical forms? Musical forms describe how a piece of music is
structured. They explain how the sections work together through repetition, contrast, and …

Fugue analysis is a challenging problem. We propose an algorithm that detects subjects and
counter-subjects in a symbolic score where all the voices are separated, determining the …

Melody similarity in music is a perception of listeners based on cognitive method. Thus, the
algorithms should be based on perceptually oriented computational model. We have used …
