Subject: [AUDITORY] Note durations in music From: "Patel, Aniruddh D." <a.patel@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 20:07:26 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_E06FF38A806E884E9F935E87BFE5694CF5567DSSVMEXDAG01MB01tu_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear list, I'm trying to find papers which report measurements of two aspects of note = duration in solo instrumental monophonic music (e.g., recordings of solo vi= olin, cello, trumpet, clarinet, flute, etc. - not piano, guitar, or other i= nstruments that can play multiple notes simultaneously). 1. The average duration of notes in a piece 2. A histogram of note durations in the piece Thus for example this solo cello prelude by JS Bach last about 4 minutes an= d contains N notes (anybody know?), so the average note duration in this pi= ece is about N/240 notes/sec. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DdtLKjeEssAo If one could measure the duration of each note in this recording, then one = could plot the histogram of note durations in the piece. Is anyone aware of such data for any solo monophonic instrument? Musical s= tyle doesn't matter (can be classical, folk, etc.). Thanks, Ani Patel Aniruddh D.
