Musicological, computational, and conceptual aspects of first-species counterpoint theory
Musicological, computational, and conceptual aspects of first-species counterpoint theory
We re-create the essential results of a 1989 unpublished article by Mazzola and Muzzulini that contains the musicological aspects of a first-species counterpoint model. We include a summary of the mathematical counterpoint theory and several variations of the model that offer different perspectives on Mazzola's original principles.
