Information about our segmentation of »20. Der Wegweiser«

Variiertes Strophenlied in g-Moll mit vier Strophen.
Die annotierte Segmentierung I A1 B A2 C1 C2 J entspricht nahezu vollständig der Stropheneinteilung. Die vierte Textstrophe wird wiederholt.
A2 ist eine leichte Variation von A1.
B kann als eine starke Variation von A1 angesehen werden.
C basiert rhythmisch und harmonisch auf dem Material von A1, variiert jedoch stark in der Melodik.
Auch die Begleitung ändert sich im Vergleich zu A und B nur wenig.
Das Nachspiel ist sehr kurz und zur Hälfte gesungen und muss daher nicht unbedingt von C2 abgetrennt werden.
Mögliche Segmentierungen:

I A1 B A2 C1 C2 J

I A1 A2 A3 C1 C2

I A1 A2 A3 A4 A5

Tempogram

This feature corresponds to rhythmic properties of a musical piece as well as tempo. A tempogram is computed similar to a spectrogram by short-time Fourier transform or using autocorrelation function. It represents periodic occurances of high energy in the waveform and hence is used to estimate tempo and beat positions. To reduce jumps between a certain tempo value and its multiples, a cyclic variant is used where we identify all tempo multiples similar to the computation of chroma from pitch features. Subsequently, the resulting tempo features are quantized, smoothed (in temporal direction), and normalized with respect to the ℓ2-norm.

In the spirit of the transposition-invariant chroma-based SSM, we compute something similar for cyclic tempo features also. Although the properties of this matrix are not discovered yet, we present this representation to show that the transposition index carries some meaningful information. We guess that this can be used to separate information about rhythm and tempo. In this case, we use a standard HSV colormap.
