How can artificial intelligence decode the complex harmonic structures of Mozart's piano sonatas?
In short: This lecture from MIT's Computational Music Theory course explores the intersection of music and technology. It demonstrates how AI tools can be applied to roman numeral analysis, offering a modern perspective on classical composition.
In this session of the Spring 2023 course 21M.383, instructor Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert examines the limitations of traditional roman numeral analysis. The lecture highlights inherent inconsistencies found when using this system to categorize musical structures.
To address these challenges, the class explores algorithmic approaches, specifically showcasing an AI-based system designed to perform roman numeral analysis on the piano sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The discussion also covers practical questions regarding the course's problem sets and the fundamental properties of major scales.
