Abstract
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to create a web application which allows the user to analyse the structural features of any given musical piece which has been provided as an audio file. The paper gives an overview of existing applications which provide information about musical pieces and analyses their strengths and shortcomings. An overview of different approaches to music structure analysis is given and an algorithm for feature based segmentation is constructed, which is also used to predict the form of a musical piece from a list of selected sectional forms. In addition the structure of the web application „Vormileidja“, which was built as a part of the thesis, is described as well as its functionality. Lastly ideas for future works are provided in order to improve form analysis as well as the web application.
