Claude Debussy's personal style is typically characterised as a departure from earlier
diatonic tonality, including a greater variety of pitch-class materials organised in fragmented …

Tonality is one of the most central theoretical concepts for the analysis of Western classical
music. This study presents a novel approach for the study of its historical development …

In this study, we determine the fundamental role of the line of fifths for the organization of
tonal material by applying dimensionality reduction to a large historical corpus of pitch-class …

Many structural aspects of music, such as tonality, can be expressed using hierarchical
representations. In music analysis, so-called keyscapes can be used to map a key estimate …

The music-theoretic idea of a Tonnetz can be generalized at different levels: as a network of
chords relating by maximal intersection, a simplicial complex in which vertices represent …

Pitch-class distributions (PCDs) are fundamental objects of study in many fields of empirical
music research, from music information retrieval (MIR), mathematical music theory, and …

Tonality has been the cornerstone of Western music-theoretical discourse for centuries. This
study addresses the subject, using traditional music analysis, data-driven corpus methods …

Putting forward an extensive new argument for a humanities-based approach to big-data
analysis, The Music in the Data shows how large datasets of music, or music corpora, can …

We implement a novel approach to automatic harmonic analysis using a clustering method
on pitch-class vectors (chroma vectors). The advantage of this method is its lack of top-down …

Musical grammar describes a set of principles that are used to understand and interpret the
structure of a piece according to a musical style. The main topic of this study is grammar …
