The Power of Music : Searching for Power-Laws in Symbolic Musical Data

Recently, many research contributions focus on showing that specific real-life phenomena or measured quantities of our everyday life obey a power-law, a scale free distribution. Inspired by the numerous studies in power-laws, in this paper, we explore the existence of power-law relationships in musical data. We provide the context where such power-laws do exist, and we give experimental results that validate our assumptions. The results are based on several musical collections related to classic, European and Asian music.
