1. What have the authors contributed in "Automatic functional harmonic analysis" ?
In this article the authors present HarmTrace, a functional model of Western tonal harmony that builds on well-known theories of tonal harmony.. In contrast to other approaches that remain purely theoretical, the authors present an implemented system that is evaluated empirically.. The authors show that their system is fast, easy to modify and maintain, robust against noisy data, and that its harmonic analyses comply with Western tonal harmony theory.. The authors are not aware of a model that has a working implementation that effectively analyzes tonal harmony and deals robustly with noisy data, while remaining simple and easy to maintain, and scaling well to handle musical corpora of considerable size.. In this article the authors present HarmTrace ( Harmony Analysis and Retrieval of Music Computer Music Journal, 37:4, pp. 37–53, Winter 2014 doi:10.. Later, De Haas et al. ( 2009 ) implemented this grammar and specifically tuned it for jazz harmony, with the aim of modeling harmonic similarity.
