Query: The fractal dimension of music: Melodic contours and time series of
  pitch   We analyze the fractal dimension of melodic contours and pitch time series of
classical music and folk music tunes. The fractal dimensions obtained from box
counting and detrended fluctuation analysis show significant differences. They
are ascribed to the low accuracy of box counting for dimensions close to two as
well as to a possible bias because the pitches in the time series are connected
by lines to obtain the melodic contour used in the box counting analysis. We
observe a tendency that folk music exhibits lower fractal dimensions than
classical music, but further studies are needed in order to assess cutoff
effects in the comparatively short folk music tunes. We conclude that detrended
fluctuation analysis is the preferable method for fractal analysis of music,
and this verifies previous studies of analysis of short time series.
