I am very grateful to everybody who supported me during the work on my PhD. First of all, I want to thank Prof. Karlheinz Brandenburg for supervising my thesis but also, for the opportunity to work within a great team and a nice working enviroment at Fraunhofer IDMT in Ilmenau. I also want to mention my colleagues of the Metadata department for having such a friendly atmosphere including motivating scientific discussions, musical activity, and more. In particular, I want to thank all members of the Semantic Music Technologies group for the nice group climate and for helping with many things in research and beyond. Especially|thank you Alex, Ronny, Christian, Uwe, Estefan´ıa, Patrick, Daniel, Ania, Christian, Anna, Sascha, and Jakob for not only having a prolific working time in Ilmenau but also making friends there.

The College Board The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of more than 5,900 of the world’s leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success — including the SAT® and the Advanced Placement Program®. The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of students, educators, and schools. For further information, visit www.collegeboard.org. AP Equity and Access Policy The College Board strongly encourages educators to make equitable access a guiding principle for their AP programs by giving all willing and academically prepared students the opportunity to participate in AP. We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success. -

Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo. -
Parallel Keys and Remote Modulation in Selected String
1 MacKay, James. “Another Look at Chromatic Third-Related Key Relationships in Late Haydn: Parallel Keys and Remote Modulation in Selected String Quartet Minuets.”.” HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America 8.2 (Fall 2018), http://haydnjournal.org. © RIT Press and Haydn Society of North America, 2018. Duplication without the express permission of the author, RIT Press, and/or the Haydn Society of North America is prohibited. Another Look at Chromatic Third-Related Key Relationships in Late Haydn: Parallel Keys and Remote Modulation in Selected String Quartet Minuets by James MacKay Loyola University Abstract As asserted by Ethan Haimo in a 1990 article, Joseph Haydn’s Piano Trio in A-flat major, Hob. XV: 14 (1789-90), comprises his first use of a chromatic third relationship between movements of an instrumental work, with a I—flat VI—I tonal plan. This harmonic strategy, immediately taken up by Beethoven in his Piano Trio in G major, Op. 1 no. 2 (slow movement in E, VI) and his Piano Sonata in C major, Op. 2 no. 3 (slow movement in E, III), quickly became a conventional feature of early 19th-century tonality. Such third-related shifts in Haydn’s instrumental music occur earlier than 1790, especially in his string quartet Minuet-Trio movements, often built around a parallel major-parallel minor pairing of keys and their relatives. For instance, in Haydn’s String Quartet in F major, Op. 50 no. 5 (Der Traum), third movement, Haydn effects a chromatic third modulation in two stages: touching briefly upon the parallel key (f minor) in the trio, then moving immediately to its relative major, A-flat (i.e. -

It's All Relative
Forte clip ‘n’ save It’s All Relative Some Keys Have More in Common than You Think At first glance, the E major and C# minor scales make for easy and natural-sounding key changes. seem to have nothing in common. They start on Composers frequently take advantage of this. For example, sonata-allegro form—the musical structure different notes. They have opposite tonalities— found in the first movement of most symphonies— one major and one minor. However, they do have always uses an opening theme in one key and a one very important similarity: Both share F#, second theme in the relative key. C#, G#, and D# in their key signatures. Because Relative keys are not to be confused with parallel of their identical key signatures, E major and keys, which share the same tonic—that is, the first scale degree—but do not share a key signature. This C# minor are known as relative keys. means, simply, that A major and A minor are parallel Each major key has a relative minor, and vice versa. keys, B major and B minor are parallel keys, and so To find a major key’s relative minor, count down one- on. To find the correct key signature for a parallel and-a-half steps, or a minor third. For example, if you minor key, lower the third, sixth, and seventh scale are given the key of D major, count down a minor degrees; alternately, to find the key signature of a third from D to B, which tells you that the relative key parallel major key, raise the third, sixth, and seventh is B minor. -
How Should Corpus Studies of Harmony In

Chords with a root of Abstract scale-degree b7, for example, most often moved to Corpus studies of harmony in popular music normally assume chords with a root of 1, 4, and b6 and not often to chords a singular tonic pitch assigned to scale-degree 1, which with a root of 2, 5, or 6. That said, the question of highlights similarities in chord organization between parallel whether these findings supported one theory of keys. Recently, Nobile (2020) posits a “double-tonic complex” in rock, where two tonics—a major chord and its harmonic organization or another was, we admitted, a relative minor—are active simultaneously, such that matter of interpretation. similarities in chord organization manifest between relative keys. Using Kullback-Leibler divergence as a metric, I assess Table 1: Distribution of the eight most common in a corpus of classical music and a corpus of popular music chromatic roots in the RS 5x20 corpus. how well chord organization given a minor tonic is modeled by chord organization in the parallel and relative major.

Minor Keys and Key Signatures Introduction
Lesson WWW: Minor Keys and Key Signatures Introduction: Lesson VVV discusses how pieces that draw primarily from the pitches of a major scale are said to be in that major key. Similarly, pieces that draw primarily from the pitches of a minor scale—a scale based on the W-H-W-W-H-W-W pattern of whole steps and half steps—are said to be in that minor key. Minor key signatures can likewise be derived from the accidentals of the corresponding minor scale. It is important, however, to keep in mind that minor key signatures reflect the diatonic (or, natural ) form of the minor scale, not the harmonic or melodic composites. In this lesson we will discuss how a minor key is constructed and established as well as how minor key signatures are written and used. Minor keys: Lesson UUU discusses the construction of major scales and the various names given to each scale degree. All of the degrees of a minor scale have names as well. For the most part, these names are the same as those of major keys. The few differences are due to the lower scale degrees 3, 6, and 7. The following example shows the three systems used to label and refer to minor scale degrees: Example 1: The scale degree numbers, of course, remain the same. The solfège syllables mi , la , and ti are changed to me , re , and te to reflect the lowering of those scale degrees. The only difference in the scale degree names is that scale degree 7, in its lowered form, is now referred to as the subtonic .
