      TOWARDS A GENERAL COMPUTATIONAL THEORY OF MUSICAL STRUCTURE

In this talk an overview of work done towards the development of a 
computational model of musical structure will be presented. Input to 
the model is an unstructured melodic surface and output is a 
'plausible' segmentation and categorisation of the discovered 
musical segments into 'motives' or 'themes'. The proposed theory is 
based on general cognitive and logical principles and is independent 
of any specific musical style or idiom. A range of musical examples 
from various musical styles will be presented.
