Abstract

Using a simple pattern finding approach, we investigate to what degree patterns found in the tempo and loudness curves measured from piano performances of a classical piece coincide with repeated musical structures in the score that was performed. We show that high frequency content in such curves is more useful for finding repetitions of musical structures than low frequency content. In some cases removing low frequency content even improves the accuracy of pattern finding.
