Look at David Cope's work with EMI (Electronic Musical Intelligence).
He would create databases of scores in a particular genre, like Chopin
Mazurkas, that EMI would use to create a new mazurka.
With this case, and any case of composition, the starting pitch will
depend a lot on the style of the composition. If it is a tonal piece
in the style of the Classical period, it is likely to start on the
tonic, mediant, or dominant. Romantic pieces often start on the
dominant, leading tone, or supertonic as much as the tonic triad
notes. And atonal pieces can start on any pitch.

I'm going very fast and it seems that I'll finish my grad thesis
soon... however I'm kind of stuck with one detail:
The model that I'm using for the melodic contour, needs another
model for the musical beginning because it's a conditional model
based on the lasts notes that have been played.
I've heard of a study that analyzes a lot a scores in order to find
some pattern in how music begins.
Does anyone know about that?
Thanks a lot!!
