	abstract = {Several approaches based on the {\textquoteleft}Markov chain model{\textquoteright} have been proposed to tackle the composer identification task. In the paper at hand, we propose to capture phrasing structural information from inter onset and pitch intervals of pairs of consecutive notes in a musical piece, by incorporating this information into a weighted variation of a first order Markov chain model. Additionally, we propose an evolutionary procedure that automatically tunes the introduced weights and exploits the full potential of the proposed model for tackling the composer identification task between two composers. Initial experimental results on string quartets of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven suggest that the proposed model performs well and can provide insights on the inter onset and pitch intervals on the considered musical collection.},

	abstract = {During the last decade many efforts for music information retrieval have been made utilizing Computational Intelligence methods. Here, we examine the information capacity of the Dodecaphonic Trace Vector for composer classification and identification. To this end, we utilize Probabilistic Neural Networks for the construction of a similarity matrix of different composers and analyze the Dodecaphonic Trace Vector{\textquoteright}s ability to identify a composer through trained Feedforward Neural Networks. The training procedure is based on classical gradient-based methods as well as on the Differential Evolution algorithm. An experimental analysis on the pieces of seven classical composers is presented to gain insight about the most important strengths and weaknesses of the aforementioned approach.},
