Original Kurzfassung:
Retrieving music from large digital databases is a demanding
computational task. The cost for indexing and searching depends not
only on the computational effort of measuring musical similarity, but
also heavily on the number and sizes of titles in the database.
One way to speed up music retrieval is to reduce the search space by removing redundant and uninteresting material in the database. We propose a simple measure of 'interestingness' based on music complexity,
and present a reduction algorithm for MIDI files based on this measure.
It is evaluated by comparing reduction ratios and the correctness of retrieval results for a query by humming task before and after applying
the reduction.
