Form in Tonal Music

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed two popular music datasets (Chinese and American) and found that structure exists at multiple hierarchical levels, songs use repetition and limited vocabulary so that individual songs do not follow general statistics of song collections, and structure interacts with rhythm, melody, harmony, and predictability over the course of a song.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze sets of variations on Paganini's theme by three twentieth-century composers: Ferruccio Busoni, Ignaz Friedman and Robert Muczynski, in order to examine, identify, and trace different variation techniques and their applications.

TL;DR: I approach cross-cultural transformation in music as a kind of crosscultural variation, as the theme and variations tradition offers us a framework to explicitly consider which musical elements to stay fixed and which to vary, and proposes to treatCross-cultural variation as a four-step process.

TL;DR: A detailed analysis of Requiem, Op. 48 can be found in this article, where the history of the requiem mass as a liturgical form, the evolution of requiem, op. 48, the John Rutter edition (1984) and his research, and a conductor's analysis addressing issues of harmony, form, and style.

TL;DR: This relationship can be used to pre-estimate the transparent bitrate required for an input audio file, so that this bitrate can be use for encoding and the transparent quality can be achieved with the minimum compressed file size.
