An investigation of musical timbre

Abstract
Musical timbre is a particularly difficult attribute to measure and quantify. However, Pollard and Janson (1982) [3] have successfully plotted the changing timbre of the starting transient and steady state of a single note. Following on from their work, the changing timbre of an ensemble piece of music is graphed using just two independent parameters, these being derived from Stevens (1971) [4], Mark VII.
