Mozarts-Ear

Mozart’s Ear is a music transcriber. Analogous to speech-to-text software, it does music-to-notation of unaccompanied melodies. Music transcription is very useful for musicians but difficult to learn and laborious to execute. Once a melody is transcribed, the app is able to do simple melodic analysis, identifying features such as the key of the selection, motives, moments of exact repetition, triads and scalar motion. Identification of these melodic features is useful for people trying to engage intelligently with the music either when memorising a passage (for performance), trying to understand its construction (for analysis by a composer), or naming features to discuss their effect or significance (for the musicologist). Simply, Mozart’s Ear puts into the palm of users the ability to hear like Mozart without spending hours in a practice room.
