Melodic analysis with segment classes

This paper presents a representation for melodic segment classes and applies it to music data mining. Melody is modeled as a sequence of segments, each segment being a sequence of notes. These segments are assigned to classes through a knowledge representation scheme which allows the flexible construction of abstract views of the music surface. The representation is applied to sequential pattern discovery and to the statistical modeling of musical style.
