Musical analysis of Stravinski's "The Rite of Spring" based on computational methods
This work addresses musicologists and computational music researchers by providing an incremental analysis method for a specific classical piece.
The authors tackled the analysis of Stravinski's 'The Rite of Spring' by proposing a manual analysis and a computational approach to find similar analyses, aiming to discover new perspectives and address deficiencies in existing music computing systems.
Stravinski's "The Rite of Spring" is one of the most well-known pieces from the classical contemporary music repertoire. However, its analysis has aroused different opinions within its construction and compositional foundations. In this sense, I here proposed my own manual analysis and a computational approach which aims to find a similar analysis, giving the opportunity of discovering new possible points of view and supplying the current deficiencies of the Musi"c Computing common analysis systems.
