Some researchers prompted me to study whether it could be done from the magnitudes of Fourier coefficients of musical objects (pc-sets or rhythms) instead of addressing their atomic elements (pitches, rhythmic onsets). Indeed I found that it could be a promising new approach to measuring organization of musical material. This note only purports to expose this novel idea, leaving for future research the task of comparing it with the numerous other definitions. I also sketch the study of one relevant basis for such comparisons which has been little explored, the asymptotics of entropy of arithmetic sequences modulo n.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73832800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study extends the canonical n-gram approach by using skip-grams, which include sub-sequences in an n-gram list if their constituent members occur within a certain number of skips. We compiled four data sets of Western tonal music consisting of symbolic encodings of the notated score and a recorded performance, created a model pipeline for defining, counting, filtering, and ranking skip-grams, and ranked the position of the MRDCC in every possible model configuration. We found that the MRDCC receives a higher rank in the list when the pipeline employs 5 skips, filters the list by excluding n-gram types that do not reflect a genuine harmonic change between adjacent members, and ranks the remaining types using a statistical association measure.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87031626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We suggest to describe time-varying systems by considering the evolution of their geometrical and topological properties in time, by using a method based on persistent homology. In the static case, persistent homology allows one to provide a representation of a manifold paired with a continuous function as a collection of multisets of points and lines called persistence diagrams. The idea is to fingerprint the change of a variable-geometry space as a time series of persistence diagrams, and afterwards compare such time series by using dynamic time warping. As an application, we express some music features and their time dependency by updating the values of a function defined on a polyhedral surface, called the Tonnetz. Thereafter, we use this time-based representation to automatically classify three collections of compositions according to their style, and discuss the optimal time-granularity for the analysis of different musical genres.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91326696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Pythagoreans' association of musical intervals with integer ratios is so well known that it occludes the great variety of approaches to the music-mathematical relationship in Ancient Greece and Rome. The present article uncovers this diversity by examining how authors from Antiquity used one mathematical element – the number series 16, 17, 18 – to serve different ends. The number 17 provides the simplest way to divide the 9:8 whole tone into two parts, but the status of those two parts was debated, as was their relationship to the standard 256:243 semitone of Greek theory. I account for this diversity by appealing to the contexts in which the authors wrote – music treatises vs. commentaries on Plato's Timaeus – and to the importance placed on mathematics in Neoplatonist curricula. The article concludes by examining how confusion regarding the 16, 17, 18 series lingered even in the medieval period due to ambiguities in Boethius's De institutione musica, and how medieval authors eventually superseded the debate through a Euclid-inspired geometric division of the 9:8 ratio.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79120564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the course of our analysis, we also present an alternative proof of the well-know fact that the Thue–Morse subshift has topological entropy zero that motivated us to think of the map between binary sequences and musical scales as “binary keyboards.” Indeed, the binary representation allows to study musical scales through mathematical properties of the sequences that define them; here we present the set of standard Thue–Morse scales and compare them with other well-known musical scales.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81577276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their representatives in the frequency domain are used to built cyclic sequences of tone iterates satisfying the closure condition. The refinement of cyclic sequences with regard to the best closure provides a constructive algorithm that allows to determine cyclic scales avoiding continued fractions. New proofs of the main properties are obtained as a consequence of the generating procedure. When the scale tones are generated from the two elementary factors associated with the generic widths of the step intervals we get the partition of the octave leading to the fundamental Bézout's identity relating several characteristic scale indices. This relationship is generalized to prove a new relationship expressing the partition that the frequency ratios associated with the two sizes composing the different step-intervals induce to a specific set of octaves.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84580787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The geometrical construct is of particular interest, in that allows us to represent inherently topological aspects to important musical concepts. Two kinds of music-theoretical geometry have been proposed that can house Tonnetze: geometrical duals of voice-leading spaces and Fourier phase spaces. Fourier phase spaces are particularly appropriate for Tonnetze in that their objects are pitch-class distributions (real-valued weightings of the 12 pitch classes) and proximity in these space relates to shared pitch-class content. They admit of a particularly general method of constructing a geometrical Tonnetz that allows for interval and chord duplications in a toroidal geometry. This article examines how these duplications can relate to important musical concepts such as key or pitch height, and details a method of removing such redundancies and the resulting changes to the homology of the space. The method also transfers to the rhythmic domain, defining Zeitnetze for cyclic rhythms. A number of possible Tonnetze are illustrated: on triads, seventh chords, ninth chords, scalar tetrachords, scales, etc., as well as Zeitnetze on common cyclic rhythms or timelines. Their different topologies – whether orientable, bounded, manifold, etc. – reveal some of the topological character of musical concepts.","PeriodicalId":50138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematics and Music","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76161633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
