    "title": "Modeing Melodic Expectation: Using Three \"Musical Forces\" to Predict Melodic Continuations",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Part of what we call \"expression\" or \"espressive\nmeaning\" in music m a y be regarded as an emergent\nproperty of the interaction of \"musical forces\" that I call\ngravity, magnetism, and inertia. These forces are\nimplicit in Gestalt psychological principles of perceptual\norganization, current theories of tonal music, and recent\nexperimental work in psychoacoustics. A n explicit\naccount of their operation and interaction allows us to\npredict which patterns of musical motion trained\nlisteners will tend to expect in tonal music.\nA computer program called What Next models the\noperation of these forces. Given a string of melodic\npitches in a specific tonal context. What next lists\npredicted continuations. A comparison of these\npredictions with the results of an experiment (Lake\n1987), in which trained listeners were given a string of\nmelodic pitches in a specific tonal context and asked to\nsing a continuation, suggests that the forces modeled\nhave cognitive significance and explanatory power.",
