Question by Derek: What determines how we perceive different types of music?

Music can bring out such strong and mixed emotions from every listener. A listener also appreciates certain music over other. A listener will find some music to be horribly and some music to be great. What determines a listener to perceived a piece of music to be a great work of art? What determines a listener to perceive a piece of music to have no beauty?

It seems music has to be structured right in order for a listener to appreciate it. A music with wrong structure, whether is be bad rhythm or bad placement of noted, becomes a burden to listen to. What in our minds determines the structure that music has to have in order to be appreciated? Please explain why.
If you find this interesting, please do not forget to star. Thanks.

Mawia, i value your input but I wish I could make myself more clear. I just want to know how the brain functions when it perceives music. Why does some music sound good and some music sound bad?




Best answer:

Answer by Mawia
Consider this: Evelyn Glennie - deaf concert percussionist

Beethoven, at the end of his life - was deaf - the music was all in his head.

Music does not have to heard to be enjoyed, it can be imagined.

You seem to have asked a chicken or egg question. The brain's functionality is affected by music - see link below for more info.
