Abstract : |
A novel computational system has been constructed which is capable of transcribing piano performances of four-voice Bach chorales written in the style of 18th century counterpoint. The system is based on the blackboard architecture, which combines top-down and bottom-up processing with a representation that is natural for the stated musical domain. Knowledge about auditory physiology, physical sound production, and musical practice has been successfully integrated in the current implementation. This report describes the system and its performance, highlighting its current limitations and describing some avenues of future work., |
