...Niels Chr. Hansen; Makiko Sadakata; Marcus Pearce Research has used the normalized pairwise variability index (nPVI) to examine relationships between musical rhythm and durational contrast in composers’ native languages. Applying this methodology, linearly increasing nPVI in Austro-German...

...Joseph R. Daniele; Aniruddh D. Patel Historical trends in the rhythm of Western European instrumental classical music between ∼1650 and 1950 have recently been studied using the nPVI equation. This equation measures the average degree of durational contrast between adjacent events in a sequence...

...Joseph R. Daniele; Aniruddh D. Patel This paper introduces a new approach for the historical study of musical rhythm based on an empirical measure of rhythm known as the nPVI (‘normalized pairwise variability index’). The nPVI is an equation that measures the degree of durational contrast between...
