Beschreibungen/Notizen
A prominent aspect of the notion of musical similarity across the music of various
cultures is related to the local matching of melodic motifs. This holds for Indian
art music, a highly structured form with raga playing a critical role in the melodic
organization. Apart from the tonal material, a raga is characterized by a set of
melodic phrases that serve as important points of reference in a music performance.
Musicians acquire in their training a knowledge of the melodic phrase shapes or
motifs particular to a raga and the proficiency to render these correctly in
performance. This phenomenon of learned schema might be expected to influence the
musicians' perception of variations of the melodic motif in terms of pitch contour
shape. Motivated by the parallels between the musical structure and prosodic
structure in speech, identification and discrimination experiments are presented,
which explore the differences between trained musicians' (TMs) and non-musicians'
perception of ecologically valid synthesized variants of a raga-characteristic motif,
presented both in and out of context. It is found that trained musicians are
relatively insensitive to acoustic differences associated with note duration in the
vicinity of a prototypical phrase shape while also clearly demonstrating the
heightened sensitivity associated with categorical perception in the context of the
boundary between ragas.
