Do all musical emotions have the music itself as their intentional object?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 October 2008
Abstract
Juslin & Västfjäll (J&V) think that all emotions aroused by music have the music itself as their “intentional object.” Some of the mechanisms they discuss almost certainly involve both cognitive appraisals and intentional objects. But some of the mechanisms are non-cognitive: they involve neither cognitive appraisals nor intentional objects. Partly for this reason they may produce moods rather than emotions proper.
