CHROMA-BASED SCALE MATCHING FOR AUDIO TONALITY ANALYSIS

An algorithm for visualizing the tonal characteristics of classical music audio recordings and calculates the maximal likelihood for all transpositions of a scale to measure the occurrence of the respective scale type.

Investigating style evolution of Western classical music: A computational approach

In these studies, independent evidence of historical periods that broadly agrees with traditional views as well as recent data-driven experiments are found, showing that computational experiments can provide novel insights into the evolution of styles.

Local Key Estimation In Classical Music Recordings: A Cross-Version Study on Schubert’s Winterreise

This work approaches local key estimation on a unique cross-version dataset comprising nine performances of Schubert’s song cycle Winterreise—a challenging scenario of high musical ambiguity and subjectivity and compares an HMM-based system with a CNN-based approach.

Tonal complexity features for style classification of classical music

A set of novel audio features for classifying the style of classical music that rely on statistical measures based on a chroma feature representation of the audio data and are robust to timbral variations are proposed.

Analyzing Measure Annotations for Western Classical Music Recordings

The inconsistencies of the different annotations are discussed and possible musical reasons for deviations are studied to propose a kernel-based method for automatically estimating confidences of the computed annotations which may serve as a first step towards improving the quality of this automatic method.

Investigating CNN-based Instrument Family Recognition for Western Classical Music Recordings

While data augmentation and the normalization of spectral patches turned out to be beneficial, pre-processing strategies such as logarithmic compression and channel-energy normalization did not lead to substantial improvements in generalization capability of the models.

Local Key Estimation in Music Recordings: A Case Study Across Songs, Versions, and Annotators

A cross-annotator study of Schubert's song cycle Winterreise annotated by three different music theory experts reveals that a substantial part of the systems’ errors coincides with annotator disagreement and can be traced back to musically explainable relationships among different keys.

Towards Measuring Intonation Quality of Choir Recordings: A Case Study on Bruckner's Locus Iste

An intonation cost measure that can be computed from choir recordings and may help to assess the singers’intonation quality is introduced and shows interesting trends, indicating the potential of the method for real-world applications.
