Information about our segmentation of »22. Mut«
Variiertes Strophenlied in g-Moll mit drei Strophen.
Die Segmentierung entspricht im Wesentlichen der Stropheneinteilung.
Das Vor-, Zwischen- und Nachspiel sind identisch.
Es lassen sich zwei Strophenarten unterscheiden: A und B.
Diese weisen untereinander starke melodische und leichte harmonische Unterschiede auf.
Die Rhythmik bleibt sowohl in der Gesangs- als auch in der Klavierstimme weitestgehend gleich.
Sowohl A als auch B1 und B2 sind zweiteilig aufgebaut und bestehen aus zwei Wiederholungen eines 6-7 taktigen Motivs.
Die zweiten Wiederholungen weichen jeweils leicht von dem Original ab.

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.
