Abstract

An exploratory study was conducted investigating the concept of beauty related to music listening—“musical beauty.” The study implemented an online qualitative questionnaire aimed to evaluate how listeners construe the concept of beauty, the pieces of music considered to be beautiful, and the intrinsic and/or extrinsic features that listeners attribute to musical pieces being considered as “most beautiful.” Analysis of long-answer responses provided by English-speaking participants ( n = 32) reveals the way that listeners characterize “musical beauty” and contributes to empirical evaluation of musical aesthetic experiences. Listeners in this study construe beauty in two ways: one construal emphasizes the perceivable or recognizable intrinsic features of the piece of music, while the other emphasizes the affective or emotional extrinsic features of their listening experience.

理解音乐之美

我们开展了一项探索性研究，调查与音乐聆听相关的美的概念--"音乐美"。研究采用了在线定性问卷调查的方式，旨在评估听众如何理解美的概念、被认为是美的音乐作品，以及听众认为被认为是 "最美 "的音乐作品的内在和/或外在特征。对英语参与者（32 人）的长篇回答进行分析，揭示了听众对 "音乐美 "的描述方式，有助于对音乐审美体验进行实证评估。本研究中的听众以两种方式诠释 "美"：一种诠释强调音乐作品可感知或可识别的内在特征，而另一种诠释则强调聆听体验的情感或情绪的外在特征。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
