An Experiment on the Role of Pitch Intervals in Melodic Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of an experiment to test the influence of IOI, dynamics, pitch change, and pitch direction change on melodic segmentation, extending an an earlier experiment [4]. The new results show little to no significant influence of pitch, when evaluated by a linear or log-linear statistical model with regression. This supports the earlier findings, which are in contrast to the commonly made assumption that greater pitch intervals lead to melodic segmentation.

The Influence of Pitch on Melodic Segmentation
Melodic segmentation is an important topic for music information retrieval, because it divides melodies into musically relevant units. Most influential theories on melodic segmentation of the last decades have stressed the role of pitch for melodic segmentation. The general assumption was, that relatively large changes or distances in any musical parameter like pitch, time, dynamics, or melodic...
متن کاملThe influence of melodic context on pitch recognition judgment.
Subjects made delayed pitch comparisons between tones that were each preceded by tones of lower pitch. The pitches of these preceding tones were so chosen that in some conditions the melodic intervals formed by the standard {S) and comparison {C} combinations were identical, and in others they differed. A strong effect of melodic relational context was demonstrated. When the $ and C combination...
متن کاملLiu 1 . Memory And Melodic Density : A Model For Melody Segmentation
In the first paper, the author summarized the shortcomings of one previous melody segmentation method, which is LBDM, and then he gave his own method, MDSM. Instead of measuring the accumulated boundary strength and identifying local maxima, this method was trying to calculate the accumulated melodic cohesion between pitch intervals and identify the local minima. Both methods extracted some int...
متن کاملWord segmentation in Persian continuous speech using F0 contour
Word segmentation in continuous speech is a complex cognitive process. Previous research on spoken word segmentation has revealed that in fixed-stress languages, listeners use acoustic cues to stress to de-segment speech into words. It has been further assumed that stress in non-final or non-initial position hinders the demarcative function of this prosodic factor. In Persian, stress is retract...
متن کاملSymbolic Segmentation: A Corpus-Based Analysis of Melodic Phrases
Gestalt-based segmentation models constitute the current state of the art in automatic segmentation of melodies. These models commonly assume that segment boundary perception is mainly triggered by local discontinuities, i.e. by abrupt changes in pitch and/or duration of neighbouring note events. This paper presents a statistical study of melodic phrase segments to test this assumption. The stu...
