Abstract

The invention relates to methods for recognizing and for selecting a tone sequence, particularly a piece of music, which permit a user to request a particular piece of music by singing a section of the piece of music, whose title is unknown to him. This method is distinguished in that a tone sequence which corresponds at least in part to at least a section of the tone sequence which is to be selected is entered, the tones in the entered tone sequence are converted into a note sequence, then, to search for the tone sequence which is to be selected, its note sequence is compared successively with corresponding note sequences for a multiplicity of tone sequences in order to ascertain titles for one or more tone sequences whose note sequence or sequences matches or match the note sequence for the tone sequence which is to be selected in a predetermined manner, and the titles ascertained are output as a list or tone sequences, so that a user can use the title list or tone sequence to select the desired tone sequence.
