The factors that predetermine and condition reading practices in the digital environment are one of the hottest and most productive research objects. This article studies the factors and contexts that produce rejection of or detachment from the adoption of digital compared with printed texts in the educational environment. For this, a systematic re...
Today, a greater generation of information is produced as a consequence of the technological development of society. The Internet has facilitated the access and extraction of this information, thus pursuing the automatic discovery of the knowledge contained within. In this context, data mining aims to discover patterns, profiles and trends of a lar...
Desde los primeros intentos hasta nuestros días, han sido muchos los sistemas de notación, los soportes, formatos o las tipologías documentales desarrolladas con el objetivo de preservar y comunicar de manera estable el conocimiento musical a través de representaciones textuales.

Folk music is a fundamental immaterial heritage that promotes cultural identity. However, it lacks a substantial body of open access materials, and its promotion has been disconnected from the education curriculum. In this context, facilitated access to annotated high-quality folk music content can promote better educational tools and enhance cultu...
In tonal music, musical tension is strongly associated with musical expression, particularly with expectations and emotions. Most listeners are able to perceive musical tension subjectively, yet musical tension is difficult to be measured objectively, as it is connected with musical parameters such as rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, and timbre....
El presente artículo pretende constituirse como una aproximación teórica en torno al proceso de inserción y traslación de la música de jazz en el canon de la música culta en Occidente, monopolizado de manera paradigmática por la música clásica europea. Partiendo de un sustrato teórico conformado en relación a la teoría de los polisistemas, postulad...
In Western tonal music, tension in chord progressions plays an important role in defining the path that a musical composition should follow. The creation of chord progressions that reflects such tension profiles can be challenging for novice composers, as it depends on many subjective factors, and also is regulated by multiple theoretical principle...
El escritor Roald Dahl es responsable de muchas de las historias más fascinantes que ha dado la literatura universal en el pasado siglo XX.

La traslación de la actividad lecto-escritora del paradigma impreso al digital trasciende aspectos como la disposición y presentación del texto, los nuevos procesos de lectura, o las nuevas formas de edición y publicación.

In the same way, reading music enables the experienced musician to generate musical images internally, which silen...
