Summary and prospects.Steve Larson drew on his 20 years of research in music theory, cognitive linguistics, experimental psychology, and artificial intelligence-as well as his skill as a jazz pianist-to show how the experience of physical motion can shape one's musical experience. Clarifying the roles of analogy, metaphor, grouping, pattern, hierarchy, and emergence in the explanation of musical meaning, Larson explained how listeners hear tonal music through the analogues of physical gravity, magnetism, and inertia. His theory of melodic expectation goes beyond prior theories in predicting complete melodic pattMusical meaning and interpretation.MusicPhysiological aspectsMusicPhysiological effectMusicPsychological aspectsElectronic books.MusicPhysiological aspects.MusicPhysiological effect.MusicPsychological aspects.781/.1Larson Steve1955-2011.791000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463534003321Musical forces2218642UNINA
