    Music and mathematics. A spectrogram of a violin waveform, with linear frequency on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The bright lines show how the spectral components change over time. The intensity colouring is logarithmic (black is −120 dBFS). Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music.

    Theory. MUSIC method assumes that a signal vector, , consists of complex exponentials, whose frequencies are unknown, in the presence of Gaussian white noise, , as given by the linear model. Here is an Vandermonde matrix of steering vectors and is the amplitude vector. A crucial assumption is that number of sources, , is less than the number of ...

  8. Musical note - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_note

    In music, notes are distinct and isolatable sounds that act as the most basic building blocks for nearly all of music. This discretization facilitates performance, comprehension, and analysis. [ 1] Notes may be visually communicated by writing them in musical notation .

    Key signature change example: C major to C minor. In music, modulation is the change from one tonality ( tonic, or tonal center) to another. This may or may not be accompanied by a change in key signature (a key change ). Modulations articulate or create the structure or form of many pieces, as well as add interest.
