JSB Chorales
The JSB chorales are a set of short, four-voice pieces of music well-noted for their stylistic homogeneity. The chorales were originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in the 18th century. He wrote them by first taking pre-existing melodies from contemporary Lutheran hymns and then harmonising them to create the parts for the remaining three voices. The version of the dataset used canonically in representation learning contexts consists of 382 such chorales, with a train/validation/test split of 229, 76 and 77 samples respectively.

Papers archive 2025-07-28
8 shown of 8 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 33. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
