SOME IDEAS ON THE POSSIBLE PERCEPTION OF MUSICAL STRUCTURES

Summary/Abstract: Starting point of my thoughts is the question what exactly (as far as it is possible to find out by thinking over it) happens in the ear, respectively in the brain, while listening to music, in the sense of the processing of the acoustic information. Connected to how this processing of information works is the question how music can be made up to provide the acoustic perceptive apparatus with stimulation and food which are usable for it, that is to say, from which the listener can derive the sense of what the composer tries to tell him. Those are fundamental thoughts, applied also to musical examples, which are important for me to keep in mind when I am composing.
