ABSTRACT. In this paper I am particularly interested in exploring the metaphorical content of the experience of music, visual imagery in relationship to music, emotional expression in music, and the representational features of music that enable listeners to perceive emotions. The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of music’s relationship to feeling, the inseparability of form and content in music, the intelligibility both of musical structures and of forms of cognition, the significance and nature of music, and the nature of musical emotions. pp. 272–277
