Efficient and intelligent music information retrieval is a very important topic of the 21st century. With the ultimate goal of building personal music information retrieval systems, this paper studies the problem of intelligent music information retrieval . Huron [10] points out thatInformation files of all kinds are now in common use-personnel records,parts inventories, customer ac- count information , business correspondence, document holdings in libraries, patient records in hospitals, and so on. Information retrieval systems are designed to help analyze and describe
