Der Wert der Musik

Abstract

Was bietet uns Musik, dass wir ihr so viel Zeit und Geld opfern? Wie soll sie beschaffen sein, damit sie die hohen Erwartungen erfüllt? Warum riskieren wir für sie das Gehör, warum gehen wir das Risiko illegaler Downloads ein? Um individuelle Bewertungen von Musik - und damit zusammenhängend: den Wert der Musik für den Menschen - zu verstehen, analysiert die Studie zunächst intensiv »Amazon«-Kundenrezensionen aktueller Alben von Robbie Williams, Eminem, The Strokes, Bob Dylan, Norah Jones u.a., um die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dann aus der Perspektive gegenwärtiger philosophischer Ästhetik zu interpretieren.

“Like static noise in a beautiful landscape”: A mixed-methods approach to rationales and features of disliked voices in popular music.

“…Much evidence was presented that the voice is clearly perceived separately from the song, also supported by the object-related reason, that the voice did not fit the song. Within the object-related reasons, the participants primarily described the lack of certain musical or sound qualities, in line with studies on music judgments (Ackermann, 2019; von Appen, 2007, p. 98).…”

“…It can already be assumed that certain features play a different role in the liking of different musical styles and different contexts (as discussed in von Appen, 2007). For example, average pitch was not a predictor of liking, but was mentioned in studies on musical taste (Ackermann, 2019), voice preference (Hollien et al, 1991), or in other contexts, such as attractiveness in speaking voices (Re et al, 2012).…”

“…Evoked emotions are a vital instance to explain one’s attitude toward music—and voices play an essential role in forming these attitudes for many people (Greasley et al, 2013; von Appen, 2007). Besides open descriptions in the interview study that were explicitly linked to disliked voices, it was the goal of the online survey to use the participants’ feature descriptions to explain emotional reactions to the voices.…”

“…It could be seen that the vocal behavior of singers plays a role in the construction of musical taste (Ackermann, 2019, p. 93; Greasley et al, 2013, p. 414; von Appen, 2007, pp. 105–109).…”

Bei einem nennenswerten Teil der Mediennutzung ist der Charakter nur grob einzuschätzen.…”
