Also known as a luftpause, it is a symbol used in musical notation. It directs the performer of the music passage to take a breath or to make a slight pause. This pause is normally intended to shorten the duration of the preceding note and not the tempo; in this function, it can be...
The Greeks were given to theoretical speculation about music; they had a system of notation, and they “practiced music,” as Socrates himself, in a vision, had been enjoined to do. But the Greek term from which the word music is derived was a generic one, referring to any art or ...

Whether referring to the process or to the completed work, composition implies the creation of a unique musical event that may or may not be based on original musical materials. At certain cultural levels and in many non-Western societies, unique performance characteristics tend to assume greater ...
The number of beats per minute is one way to measure the tempo of a song. Performing a cross-correlation computation within the calculated irregular number of beats within a minute associated with the detected acoustic signal is based on the rhythmic sequence having the highest trance-inducing ...
It was in some ways the most conventional work in the programme, in three movements (the others were in seven or eight) and the only one to use classical sonata form. Christopher Palmer's 1991 programme note used the term Mozartian, but the composers who came to mind were Rachmaninov and...
The five-minute opening teaser is built around Cymande’s prog-funk masterpiece “Dove” (the band took their name from a calypso term for ‘dove’), subtly edited down to around half its original length. The song’s introduction plays like a slowed-down, spaced-out homage to Santana’s...
annotations, a container of annotation objects, each describing a specificnamespace(the termnamespacein JAMS has a different sense than a Web namespace) that identifies the type of the annotation’s subject (e.g., chords, structural segments, emotions, patterns, keys, etc.). These annotations...

These results suggest that the local–global processing scheme depends on the complexity of the melodic contour, and that long-term musical training induces a prominent perceptual reorganization that reshapes its initial global dominance to favour local information processing. This latter result supports ...
