The Schubert Winterreise Dataset (SWD) is a multimodal dataset comprising various representations and annotations of Franz Schubert's 24-song cycle Winterreise. The primary material (raw data) consists of textual representations of the songs' lyrics, music scores in image, symbolic, and MIDI format, as well as nine audio recordings of performances (only two included due to copyright issues). The secondary material (annotations) comprises information of musical measure positions in sheet music images and audio recordings as well as analyses of chords, local keys, global keys, and structural parts. UPDATE: Version 2.0 contains additional note annotations comprising pitch, pitch class (chroma), and instrument labels for each note event (generated semi-automatically). The SWD is organized as follows: 01_RawData lyrics_txt score-IMSLP_png score-IMSLP_pdf-complete.pdf score_sibelius score_pdf score_musicxml score_midi audio_wav 02_Annotations ann_score-IMSLP_measure ann_score_chord ann_score_localkey-ann1 ann_score_localkey-ann2 ann_score_localkey-ann3 ann_score_globalkey.csv ann_score_structure ann_audio_measure ann_audio_chord ann_audio_localkey-ann1 ann_audio_localkey-ann2 ann_audio_localkey-ann3 ann_audio_globalkey.csv ann_audio_structure ann_audio_note 03_ExtraMaterial original data scripts for cutting licenses of the published performances Further information can be found in the README file and the accompanying journal paper.
