In recent years, established techniques from disciplines like mathematics and statistics have successfully been applied to music analysis, helping us to understand style, chronology and many other components of composition. Using examples drawn from a variety of musical types and styles, especially classical music, this book explains how to use some of these techniques and how they can be applied to various musical genres. This is supported by a series of specialist case studies provided by expert researchers, together with suggestions as to other types of questions that can be asked and answered using these methods.
