AN EXPERIMENT ON THE ROLE OF PITCH INTERVALS IN MELODIC SEGMENTATION
This paper presents the results of an experiment to test the influence of IOI, dynamics, pitch change, and pitch direction change on melodic segmentation, extending an an earlier experiment [4]. The new results show little to no significant influence of pitch, when evaluated by a linear or log-linear statistical model with regression. This supports the earlier findings, which are in contrast to the commonly made assumption that greater pitch intervals lead to melodic segmentation.
