1 David R. W. Sears Texas Tech University Similarity, Prototypicality, and the Classical Cadence Typology: Classification based on Family Resemblance SMT 2017 Arlington, irginia November 3, 2017 Idea ˆ6 ˆ7 Resolution Arrival ii Progression Category Example 1: Haydn, String Quartet in F, Op. 76/2, i, mm Types Categories Essential Characteristics Perfect Authentic (PAC) I ˆ1 I Imperfect Authentic (IAC) Deceptive (DC) Evaded (E) Half () I ˆ3 or ˆ5?, Typically vi ˆ1 or ˆ3??, Typically ˆ5? ˆ5, ˆ7, or ˆ2 Example 2: The cadential types and categories in Caplin (1998), along with the harmonic and melodic characteristics for each category. 1

2 DC 19 E PAC 9 IAC Example 3: Pie chart of the cadences in the Haydn corpus. δ n (a, b) = δ(a, b) = f (A B) f (A B) + f (A \ B) + f (B \ A) f = I DF (τ, C ) = log C s : τ s I DFC (τ An B n ) I DFC (τ An B n ) + I DF C (τ An \B n ) + I DF C (τ Bn \A n ) (1) (2) (3) Example 4: (1) Tversky s ratio model. A and B denote the sets of features for items a and b. The function f measures the salience of the features that are either shared by a and b ( A B), distinct to a ( A \ B), or distinct to b (B \ A), where salience refers to the intensity, frequency, familiarity, good form, or informational content of a given feature within the larger set. (2) The Inverted Document Frequency (IDF) of n-gram τ from A or B in sequence s. C denotes the total number of sequences in the collection. (3) The full model estimated for each value of n. Each similarity estimate, δ n (a, b), is then combined into one composite similarity estimate, δ(a, b), which represents the arithmetic average of the similarity estimates calculated for each value of n, weighted by the entropies of the corresponding n-gram distributions from the larger collection. 2

3 a b ˆ3 ˆ4 ˆ5 ˆ5 ˆ1 ˆ3 ˆ4 ˆ2 ˆ5 ˆ5 ˆ1 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4 n = 2 n = 3 n = 4 ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ2-ˆ1 ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ2-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ2-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ2-ˆ1 Example 5: Top: a) Haydn, String Quartet in B-flat, Op. 50/1, iv, mm b) String Quartet in B-flat, Op. 64/3, i, mm Bottom: The distinct n-gram types in each cadential bass line. ˆ5-ˆ ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ ˆ4-ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1.08 ˆ4-ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ4-ˆ3-ˆ2-ˆ5-ˆ ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1.13 ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ5-ˆ1 ˆ3-ˆ3-ˆ4-ˆ5-ˆ1 Example 6: Square dendrogram calculated with the neighbor-joining (NJ) algorithm for the sequence of chromatic scale degrees from eight authentic cadential bass lines in the Haydn corpus. 3

4 a) NJ Algorithm b) Cadence Typology 4 PAC IAC DC E Example 7: Equal-angle tree calculated with the NJ algorithm for the cadences from the Haydn corpus. a) Partitioned into the five clusters that minimized the maximum dissimilarity between cadences in each cluster. b) Partitioned into the five cadence categories from Caplin s typology.
