“…Some of them provide an in depth and comprehensive view of a specific technique for algorithmic composition, as Anders and Miranda (2011) do for constraint programming, as Ames (1989) does for Markov chains, or as Santos et al (2000) do for evolutionary techniques, while some others are specialized in the comparison between paradigms for computational research on music, as Toiviainen (2000). Others offer a wide-angle (but relatively shallow) panoramic of the field (Papadopoulos & Wiggins, 1999), review the early history of the field (Loy & Abbott, 1985;Ames, 1987;Burns, 1994), or analyze methodologies and motivations for algorithmic composition (Pearce et al, 2002). There are also works that combine in depth and comprehensive reviews for a wide range of methods for algorithmic composition, such as Nierhaus's (2009) book.…”
