Suitable for readers interested in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology as well as music, this book uses a theory of expectations to explain how music evokes various emotions. It identifies some of the aesthetic possibilities afforded by expectation, and shows how common musical devices exploit the psychological opportunities.
