Representing Musical Genre : A State of the Art. Aucouturier, J. & Pachet, F. Journal of New Music Research, 32(February 2015):83–93, 2003. doi abstract bibtex Musical genre is probably the most popular music descrip- tor. In the context of large musical databases and Electronic Music Distribution, genre is therefore a crucial metadata for the description of music content. However, genre is intrinsi- cally ill-defined and attempts at defining genre precisely have a strong tendency to end up in circular, ungrounded projec- tions of fantasies. Is genre an intrinsic attribute of music titles, as, say , tempo? Or is genre a extrinsic description of the whole piece? In this article, we discuss the various approaches in representing musical genre, and propose to classify these approaches in three main categories: manual, prescriptive and emergent approaches. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach, and illustrate our study with results of the Cuidado IST project.
