In this paper we briefly explain the main concepts underlying the Key-Music system, a prototype of Artificial Intelligence tool for music knowledge representation and music composition. Key-Music is based on the Petri nets theory in conjunction with Knowledge Representation for storing general definitions about musical timed process, under the form of semantic frame-based multiple inheritance networks; representations of actual, individual music process can be generated as instances of a general definition, and Petri nets are automati cally derived to describe and perform them. Presently, the output of the system can be both a midi and a cmusic file.
