Higher-Order Network Representation of J. S. Bach's Solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas: Topological and Geometrical Explorations

  • 以音符为顶点、和弦为边、三音组为三角形,构建高阶网络模型
  • 发现慢板、赋格与巴洛克舞曲在欧拉示性数和曲率演化上具有显著差异
  • 适合对音乐数学建模、拓扑数据分析感兴趣的学者与研究者

音乐具有多层次的复杂结构与互动关系。复杂网络已成为量化分析西方古典音乐和声与结构组织的有效工具。尽管已有研究应用此方法,但传统二元图模型难以充分表达深层复杂性。近年来,人们对传统图表示在高维交互中的局限性提出质疑。有效的音乐分析需捕捉高阶交互并同步建模其动态转换。本文提出一种拓扑框架,用于分析巴赫小提琴独奏曲与帕蒂塔作品,其中单个音符作为顶点,两音和弦为边,三音组合为三角形等,构成高阶网络。同时建模相邻音符间的转移过程。通过分析不同乐章的几何与拓扑特性,发现其在欧拉示性数与曲率演化趋势上的独特模式,并检验了不同乐章类型下高斯-博内定理的满足情况。慢板、赋格与巴洛克舞曲在单纯复形表示中表现出明确区分特征。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Music is inherently complex, with structures and interactions that unfold across multiple layers. Complex networks have emerged as powerful structures for the quantitative analysis of Western classical music, revealing significant features of its harmonic and structural organization. Although notable works have used these approaches to study music, dyadic representations of interactions fall short in conveying the underlying complexity and depth. In recent years, the limitations of traditional graph representations have been questioned and challenged in the context of interactions that could be higher-dimensional. Effective musical analysis requires models that capture higher-order interactions and a framework that simultaneously captures transitions between them. Subsequently, in this paper, we present a topological framework for analyzing J. S. Bach's Solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas that uses higher-order networks where single notes are vertices, two-note chords are edges, three-notes are triangles, etc. We subsequently account for the flow of music, by modeling transitions between successive notes. We identify genre-specific patterns in the works' geometric and topological properties. In particular, we find signatures in the trends of the evolution of the Euler characteristic and curvature, as well as examining adherence to the Gauss-Bonnet theorem across different movement types. The distinctions are revealed between slow movements, Fugues, and Baroque dance movements through their simplicial complex representation.
