Pitch distributions for individual instruments in the symphonies No. 1-9 of L.v. Beethoven

Abstract

This dataset contains pitch distributions for the symphonies No. 1-9 of Ludwig van Beethoven. Data is available for all symphonies, all movements, and every musical instrument separately. Pitch distributions are represented as histograms in the MIDI pitch range. For transposing instruments, the pitch distributions refer to the sounding, not the written pitch. See the file header for information about the source of the original data and more information on the data collection.
