Please "the Journey" name those villains, the "certain unnamed posters", let`s get rid of them NOW!. We could torture them by making them listen to Czerny`s badly played exercises for hours and hours................I volunteer to be the torturer.......

Thanks for the article! Must keep it in mind so I can refer to it the next time the "modern music is pure nonsense"-discussion emerges.

So according to this new theory, when we hear patterns of related pitches in atonal music, it's because we feel threatened or disoriented? Doesn't chance theory indicate that the patterns are there? Seems like there is a contradiction here--but maybe not. The psychological theory is merely suggesting that we wouldn't hear the relationships that are there if we weren't listening for them, and disorientation causes us to listen for them.

The psychological theory is merely suggesting that we wouldn't hear the relationships that are there if we weren't listening for them, and disorientation causes us to listen for them. Not really. It's hardly news that when we don't understand something, we get disoriented, think about the problem and eventually make some sence of it (if we are capable of that). I would say that this is true with absolutely every new thing we understand about any subject. The news in the article was that when the brain is confronted by abstractions that it doesn't understand, it gets better prepared for solving other problems. In other words, the more you challenge your brain with your choice of litterature, movies, music and so on, the better you are prepared to handle the intellectual challenges in your everyday life. If you stick to only the familiar that you already understand well, your brain doesn't get that much workout.
