我们在本文中的目的是澄清动机的范围，激发了计算机程序的组成音乐的发展。我们认为这一点很重要，因为不同的方法适用于不同的动机和目标。我们认为，一个广泛的失败，具体的动机和目标，导致了音乐相关的研究方法的弊病。简要考虑一些最早的尝试，以产生计算系统的音乐创作，使我们确定四个活动，涉及计算机程序的开发，其中每一个组成的音乐是由不同的实际或理论动机的启发。这些活动是算法组成，作曲工具的设计，音乐风格的计算建模和音乐认知的计算建模。我们依次考虑这四种动机，说明由于未能区分它们而产生的问题。我们提出了一个术语，明确区分的四个动机所定义的活动，并在每个领域的研究方法的建议。虽然这是非常重要的研究人员拥抱相关学科的发展，我们认为，在这四个领域的研究将继续停滞不前，除非研究项目的动机和目标是明确的，并采取适当的方法来开发和评估系统，组成音乐。
Our aim in this paper is to clarify the range of motivations that have inspired the development of computer programs for the composition of music. We consider this to be important since different methodologies are appropriate for different motivations and goals. We argue that a widespread failure to specify the motivations and goals involved has lead to a methodological malaise in music related research. A brief consideration of some of the earliest attempts to produce computational systems for the composition of music leads us to identify four activities involving the development of computer programs which compose music each of which is inspired by different practical or theoretical motivations. These activities are algorithmic composition, the design of compositional tools, the computational modelling of musical styles and the computational modelling of music cognition. We consider these four motivations in turn, illustrating the problems that have arisen from failing to distinguish between them. We propose a terminology that clearly differentiates the activities defined by the four motivations and present methodological suggestions for research in each domain. While it is dearly important for researchers to embrace developments in related disciplines, we argue that research in the four domains will continueto stagnate unless the motivations and aims of research projects are clearly stated and appropriate methodologies are adopted for developing and evaluating systems that compose music.
