+title: "The Annotated Beethoven Corpus (ABC)"
+abstract: >
+  The ABC dataset consists of expert harmonic analyses of all Beethoven string quartets
+  (opp. 18, 59, 74, 95, 127, 130, 131, 132, 135, composed between 1800 and 1826), encoded in a human- and 
+  machine-readable format (MuseScore format). 
+  Using a modified Roman Numeral notation (the [DCML harmony annotation standard](https://github.com/DCMLab/standards)), 
+  the dataset includes the common music-theoretical set of harmonic features such as key, chordal root, 
+  chord inversion, chord extensions, suspensions, and others.
