Based on data sets generated by waveform audio files (WAV files), we use the kernel method to estimate the probability density function. The confidence interval of the kernel density estimator is also given. In order to illustrate our method, we used the audio data collected from recordings of three composers; Johann Sebastian Bach (1686-1750), Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) and Franz Schubert (1797-1828).711.09KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedprobability density function of normalized amplitudes (PDFNA)classical musickernel methodPresentation
