Zusammenfassung:Abstract: 'This paper describes a system for automatically characterising musical style using motifs. Motifs are patterns of rhythms or pitches common to more than one piece of music in a style. The Style Analysis with Motifs (SAM) system uses an original classification technique and is able to learn to distinguish between different styles with a success rate of over 95%. It is suggested that since motifs can be used to automatically discriminate between different styles effectively, they may be very important in the way humans achieve the task."
