Transcription and expressiveness detection system for violin music

In this paper, a transcription system for music played by violin is presented. The transcription system not only detects the pitch and duration of the notes but also identifies successfully the employed technique to play each note: detache with and without accent and with and without vibrato, pizzicato, tremolo, spiccato and flageolett-tone. The transcription system is based on a combined analysis of the time domain and frequency domain properties of the music signal.
