  Extracted Data Considering Dastgah
Parsa Rasouli Azam Bastanfard
The research in the field of music is rapidly growing, and this trend
emphasizes the need for comprehensive data. Though researchers have made an
effort to contribute their own datasets, many data collections lack the
requisite inclusivity for comprehensive study because they are frequently
focused on particular components of music or other specific topics. We have
endeavored to address data scarcity by employing an instrument-based approach
to provide a complete corpus related to the Persian piano. Our piano corpus
includes relevant labels for Persian music mode (Dastgah) and comprehensive
metadata, allowing for utilization in various popular research areas. The
features extracted from 2022 Persian piano pieces in The Persian Piano Corpus
(PPC) have been collected and made available to researchers, aiming for a more
thorough understanding of Persian music and the role of the piano in it in
subsequent steps.
