This article motivates, describes, and presents the PBSCR dataset for studying composer recognition of classical piano music. Our goal was to design a dataset that facilitates large-scale research on composer recognition that is suitable…
Predicting the difficulty of playing a musical score is essential for structuring and exploring score collections. Despite its importance for music education, the automatic difficulty classification of piano scores is not yet solved, mainly…
This paper investigates the problem of matching a MIDI file against a large database of piano sheet music images. Previous sheet-audio and sheet-MIDI alignment approaches have primarily focused on a 1-to-1 alignment task, which is not a…
This article investigates a cross-modal retrieval problem in which a user would like to retrieve a passage of music from a MIDI file by taking a cell phone picture of several lines of sheet music. This problem is challenging for two…
Estimating music piece difficulty is important for organizing educational music collections. This process could be partially automatized to facilitate the educator's role. Nevertheless, the decisions performed by prevalent deep-learning…
MIDI-sheet music alignment is the task of finding correspondences between a MIDI representation of a piece and its corresponding sheet music images. Rather than using optical music recognition to bridge the gap between sheet music and MIDI,…
Automatically estimating the performance difficulty of a music piece represents a key process in music education to create tailored curricula according to the individual needs of the students. Given its relevance, the Music Information…
This paper studies composer style classification of piano sheet music images. Previous approaches to the composer classification task have been limited by a scarcity of data. We address this issue in two ways: (1) we recast the problem to…
This paper investigates a cross-modal retrieval problem in which a user would like to retrieve a passage of music from a MIDI file by taking a cell phone picture of a physical page of sheet music. While audio-sheet music retrieval has been…
Music scores are written representations of music and contain rich information about musical components. The visual information on music scores includes notes, rests, staff lines, clefs, dynamics, and articulations. This visual information…
In this paper, we introduce score difficulty classification as a sub-task of music information retrieval (MIR), which may be used in music education technologies, for personalised curriculum generation, and score retrieval. We introduce a…
The goal of score following is to track a musical performance, usually in the form of audio, in a corresponding score representation. Established methods mainly rely on computer-readable scores in the form of MIDI or MusicXML and achieve…
Our study investigates an approach for understanding musical performances through the lens of audio encoding models, focusing on the domain of solo Western classical piano music. Compared to composition-level attribute understanding such as…
We present a statistical-modelling method for piano reduction, i.e. converting an ensemble score into piano scores, that can control performance difficulty. While previous studies have focused on describing the condition for playable piano…
This work addresses the problem of matching short excerpts of audio with their respective counterparts in sheet music images. We show how to employ neural network-based cross-modality embedding spaces for solving the following two sheet…
Despite its potential, AI advances in music education are hindered by proprietary systems that limit the democratization of technology in this domain. In particular, AI-driven music difficulty adjustment is especially promising, as…
This paper addresses the problem of cross-modal musical piece identification and retrieval: finding the appropriate recording(s) from a database given a sheet music query, and vice versa, working directly with audio and scanned sheet music…
This paper presents an unsupervised machine learning algorithm that identifies recurring patterns -- referred to as ``music-words'' -- from symbolic music data. These patterns are fundamental to musical structure and reflect the cognitive…
Understanding complete musical scores entails integrated reasoning over pitch, rhythm, harmony, and large-scale structure, yet the ability of Large Language Models and Vision--Language Models to interpret full musical notation remains…
This paper addresses the matching of short music audio snippets to the corresponding pixel location in images of sheet music. A system is presented that simultaneously learns to read notes, listens to music and matches the currently played…
