Abstract

Stravinski's "The Rite of Spring" is one of the most well-known pieces from the classical contemporary music repertoire. However, its analysis has aroused different opinions within its construction and compositional foundations. In this sense, I here proposed my own manual analysis and a computational approach which aims to find a similar analysis, giving the opportunity of discovering new possible points of view and supplying the current deficiencies of the Musi"c Computing common analysis systems.
