Well, it's time for "one of those questions" again...

Is anyone reading this familiar with work done in the Markovian properties
of music?
In other words, has anyone done an analysis of the probability of any
particular note (tone/duration) givin any N previous notes?
This kind of analysis might be done for any one piece or composer for example,
and it is *possible* that playing notes generated from such a table may produce
a sequence which sounds like the piece or composer...
I'm sure this is well trodden ground.. could somebody point me in the right
direction?
Thank you for your time -
