Abstract

In this paper we present a stepwise method for the analysis of musical sequences. The starting point is either a MIDI file or the score of a piece of music. The result is a set of likely themes and motifs. The method relies on a pitch intervals representation of music and an event discovery system that extracts significant and repeated patterns from sequences. We report and discuss the results of a preliminary experimentation, and outline future enhancements.
