Creating novel interpretations of existing musical compositions is and has always been an essential part of musical practice. Before the advent of recorded music, listening to a piece of music mostly meant listening to a version of it, in many cases, performed by musicians other than the original composer or performer. While this practice, along with musical notation, allows compositions to remain known for many decades or even centuries, it also provides room for artistic expression.

基于音频的音乐版本识别：元素和挑战

对现有音乐作品进行新颖的诠释一直是音乐实践的重要组成部分。在录制音乐出现之前，听一首音乐主要是听它的一个版本，在许多情况下，由原始作曲家或表演者以外的音乐家演奏。虽然这种做法与乐谱一起使作品能够保持数十年甚至数百年的知名度，但它也为艺术表达提供了空间。
