4-20 Theory of Musical Equalibration
  

We would like to inform you about the 'Theory of Musical Equalibration' that describes the relationship between chords and their emotional impact. If interested, we could introduce the subject at the International Speech Communications Association . 

 

Last year we presented the topic at the 'Croatian Days of Music Theory' in Zagreb:

and at the Centre for Systematic Musicology, University of Graz: https://www.homepage.uni-graz.at/de/richard.parncutt/research/weekly-seminar/ 

 

You can download the English translation of our book 'Music and Emotions - Research on the Theory of Musical Equilibration (die Strebetendenz-Theorie)' for free:  http://www.willimekmusic.de/music-and-emotions.pdf

 

or our article 'Why do minor chords sound sad?' in the  Journal for Psychology & Psychotherapy: Journal-of-psychology-and-psychotherapy

 

The 'Theory of Musical Equilibration' is also discussed in the discussion page of the Society for Music Theory: smt discuss

 

Thank you for your interest. We're looking forward to hearing from you.
