Critique of Pure Music

ISBN: 9780199682713 出版年：2014 页码：226 Young, James O Oxford University Press

James O. Young seeks to explain why we value music so highly. He draws on the latest psychological research to argue that music is expressive of emotion by resembling human expressive behaviour. The representation of emotion in music gives it the capacity to provide psychological insight—and it is this which explains a good deal of its value.
