The 'Measure Map': an inter-operable standard for aligning symbolic music

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel

Aligning versions of the same source material has been a persistent challenge in the field of digital libraries for musicology, and a barrier to progress. The growing number of publicly accessible symbolic datasets (of scores, analyses, and more) now incre ...

Musical Garden Paths: Evidence for Syntactic Revision Beyond the Linguistic Domain

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Steffen Alexander Herff, Gabriele Cecchetti

While theoretical and empirical insights suggest that the capacity to represent and process complex syntax is crucial in language as well as other domains, it is still unclear whether specific parsing mechanisms are also shared across domains. Focusing on ...

A Formal Model of Extended Tonal Harmony

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss

Extended tonality is a central system that characterizes the music from the 19th up to the 21st century, including styles like popular music, film music or Jazz. Developing from classical major-minor tonality, the harmonic language of extended tonality for ...

Western listeners detect boundary hierarchy in Indian music: a segmentation study

Martin Alois Rohrmeier

How are listeners able to follow and enjoy complex pieces of music? Several theoretical frameworks suggest links between the process of listening and the formal structure of music, involving a division of the musical surface into structural units at multip ...

Modelling Hierarchical Key Structure With Pitch Scapes

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Robert Lieck

Musical form and syntax in Western classical music are hierarchically organised on different timescales. One of the most important features of this structure is the organisation of modulations between different keys throughout a piece. Music theoretical re ...

Chord Types and Figuration: A Bayesian Learning Model of Extended Chord Profiles

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Christoph Finkensiep, Petter Harald Ericson

Making sense of a musical excerpt is an acquired skill that depends on previous musical experience. Having acquired familiarity with different types of chords, a listener can distinguish tones in a musical texture that outline these chords (i.e., chord ton ...

Harmony and form in Brazilian Choro: A corpus-driven approach to musical style analysis

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss

This corpus study constitutes the first quantitative style analysis of Choro, a primarily instrumental music genre that emerged in Brazil at the end of the 19th century. We evaluate its description in a recent comprehensive textbook by transcribing the cho ...

Discretisation and Continuity: Simulating the Emergence of Symbols in Communication Games

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Robert Lieck

Signalling systems of various species (humans and non-human animals) as well as our world both exhibit discrete and continuous properties. However, continuous meanings are not always expressed using continuous forms but instead frequently categorised into ...

Generalized Skipgrams for Pattern Discovery in Polyphonic Streams

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep

The discovery of patterns using a minimal set of assumptions constitutes a central challenge in the modeling of polyphonic music and complex streams in general. Skipgrams have been found to be a powerful model for capturing semi-local dependencies in seque ...

A semi-automated workflow paradigm for the distributed creation and curation of expert annotations

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Fabian Claude Moss, Johannes Hentschel

The creation and curation of labeled datasets can be an arduous, expensive, and time-consuming task. We introduce a workflow paradigm for remote consensus-building between expert annotators, while considerably reducing the associated administrative overhea ...

The diachronic development of Debussy’s musical style: a corpus study with Discrete Fourier Transform

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Johannes Hentschel, Gabriele Cecchetti

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 yet coherent compositions. Exploiting the music-theoretical interpretabil ...

Pessimistic outcome expectancy does not explain ambiguity aversion in decision-making under uncertainty

Martin Alois Rohrmeier

When faced with a decision, most people like to know the odds and prefer to avoid ambiguity. It has been suggested that this aversion to ambiguity is linked to people's assumption of worst possible outcomes. We used two closely linked behavioural tasks in ...

A Corpus and a Modular Infrastructure for the Empirical Study of (an)notated Music

Martin Alois Rohrmeier

The present corpus is the outcome of a long-term collaborative effort to produce analytically annotated music scores suitable for the computer-assisted study of European compositions since 1600. With 1283 analytically annotated, symbolically encoded music ...
