  • Between nature and culture : a note on David Huronʼs "musicological repercussion"
    Stefanija, Leon
    In his book Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation (2006), David Huron proposes that emotions evoked by expectation involve five functionally distinct response systems for music: ... reaction responses (which engage defensive reflexes); tension responses (where uncertainty leads to stress); prediction responses (which reward accurate prediction); imagination responses (which facilitate deferred gratification); and appraisal responses (which occur after conscious thought is engaged). These five response systems cause to reflect on the quandaries regarding epistemological approaches to music and are usually divided in a sense of oppositions between "natural-sciences-approach" and "soft-humanities-approach". The aim of this contribution is to encompass the epistemological differences brought about by each of the mentioned cognitive capacities in an thorny idea of musical universals.
