[Mind's Eye] Re: Music & Emotion

Umm I think that emotional context must be subjective. Do we all feel
the same emotions when listening to the same piece of music?

So I must ask does the composer have this emotional frame you speak
of, or does he compose with his own emotions in mind?

On the other hand I think we can agree that certian patterns of sound
are well known for invokeing certian moods, so perhaps a little from
coloumn A and a little from coloumn B?
