Subject and counter-subject detection for analysis of the Well-Tempered Clavier fugues

Résumé

Fugue analysis is a challenging problem. We propose an algorithm that detects subjects and counter-subjects in a symbolic score where all the voices are separated, determining the precise ends and the occurrence positions of these patterns. The algorithm is based on a diatonic similarity between pitch intervals combined with a strict length matching for all notes, except for the first and the last one. On the 24 fugues of the first book of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, the algorithm predicts 66% of the subjects with a musically relevant end, and finally retrieves 85% of the subject occurrences, with almost no false positive.
