Sketching Sonata Form Structure In Selected Classical String Quartets.

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Many classical works from 18th and 19th centuries are sonata forms, exhibiting a piece-level tonal path through an exposition, a development and a recapitulation and involving two thematic zones as well as other elements.The computational music analysis of scores with such a largescale structure is a challenge for the MIR community and should gather different analysis techniques.We propose first steps in that direction, combining analysis features on symbolic scores on patterns, harmony, and other elements into a structure estimated by a Viterbi algorithm on a Hidden Markov Model.We test this strategy on a set of first movements of Haydn and Mozart string quartets.The proposed computational analysis strategy finds some pertinent features and sketches the sonata form structure in some pieces that have a simple sonata form.
