In search of musical fitness on consonance
... What sort of information does sound convey? Human mental representations of acoustic events can be elaborate in a way that the word sound doesn't offer. Sound refers indifferently to the physical sound in the world and to the mental experience of it, so that consonance/dissonance is related to physi ...
