Psychiczne i ewolucyjne podstawy tonalności muzycznej
Journal Title: Teoria Muzyki. Studia, Interpretacje, Dokumentacje - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 12
Abstract
The perception of musical pitch, even that of a simple melody, is accompanied by the subtle feelings of different levels of stability. These feelings are often described as tonality qualia. These qualia are the basis of the psychological experience of tonality. The specificity of these feelings, the psychological mechanisms behind them, and the reasons for human musical cognition are the subjects of endless debates between philosophers, musicologists and psychologists. The aim of this paper is to present the contemporary knowledge about the abovementioned cognitive mechanisms that are responsible for the experience of tonality. Moreover, the paper proposes an explanation of the origin of these mechanisms in the ultimate categories, together with the original evolutionary scenario.
