  • Predicting the acceptability of music with entropy of harmony
    Mihelač, Lorena ; Povh, Janez, 1973-
    Although the information theory of entropy was developed to determine the optimal method of encoding the message for radio transmission, since 1948 it has been taken over as an analytical tool in ... various fields, including linguistics, literary criticism and musical theory. In the field of music, the measurement of complexity (entropy) has opened a path for understanding why certain musical compos itions are more acceptable to listeners than some other musical compositions. The article presents the results of the research from 2016, which has shown the influence of the entropy of harmony on the acceptability of music, and raised the awareness that the entropy of harmony could be used as a predictive model of auditory acceptability of music.
