Performance Similarity in Chopin Mazurkas

3rd-Order Scape Rank

• Start with the 2nd-order rankings, selecting a cutoff point

in the rankings to define a background noise level in the

scape.

• Then one-by-one add each of the non-noise performances into the scape along with the background noise performances. Measure the area covered by the non-noise performance (only one non-noise performance at a time).
