Beyond Simple Sums
Since Peterson's influential work on musical omnivorousness, researchers have debated whether broad musical tastes serve as markers of high socioeconomic status in modern Western societies. However, existing measures rely on simple genre counts or problematic a priori assumptions about genres’ social associations. This study introduces a novel continuous measure of musical taste breadth that accounts for both the number of liked genres and their …
Listener Perception and Musical Structure
This study aims to create a dialogue between music psychology and music-theoretical discourse on the perception of musical form. In a lab and online study, we investigated how listeners segment Western classical music in real time, focusing on (1) inter-rater agreement, (2) alignment with music-theoretical analyses of sonata form, (3) subjective qualities of segment boundaries (beginnings, endings, importance ratings), and (4) the effects of repe…
An Interdisciplinary and Integrated Methodological Framework to Analyze Aesthetic Experience in Music Performances
Objective: Investigations of aesthetic experience have continually searched for field-research methodologies that measure physiological and self-report responses reliably and with little invasiveness. On this background, the interdisciplinary research project “ECR–Experimental Concert Research” set out to study aesthetic experience in live public concerts. Methods: A team of scientists from musicology, psychology, cultural studies, and software e…
Streaming classical concerts
The COVID-19 pandemic has given a boost to the audiovisual streaming of classical concerts – a cultural practice long entrenched in the analog. While opportunities and problems for the convergence of classical concert culture and the digital sphere are already discussed in research and practice, the debate about the future of this trend lacks a unified starting point. Addressing this, the present article examines classical music performance pract…
From structural listening to daydreaming
Listening modes are often ignored in music perception research, especially when it comes to the supposedly attentive listening situation of a classical concert. The audience members’ various ways of listening, understood as the directedness of activity toward different dimensions of sound, is hypothesized to play a key role in the experience of live music. We assessed listening activity of participants ( N = 786) attending a series of experimenta…

Enculturation modulates aesthetic judgments of dance
Seasonal and other festivities with dance and music shape individuals’ aesthetic sensitivity to their cultural heritage. Yet, there is little empirical research about the influence of culture on dance perception. To fill the gap, this paper presents a pre-registered experiment with 120 participants (Iranian, English, Southeast Asian), that investigated the influence of cultural group (categorical variable) and enculturation (continuous variables)…
The influence of formats and preferences on the aesthetic experience of classical music concert streams
Music is listened to in many different situational and media frames that can be expected to shape its experience. In this study, we were interested in the effects that different formats of audiovisual streaming of classical concerts can have on the aesthetic experience of their audience. We also investigated the effects of preferences for streaming features. A total of N =525 participants watched one of four chamber music concert streams and repo…
Classical Concert Visitor Types
The motivation to attend cultural events is an insightful aspect with which to study audiences. To understand their motivations and experiences is key for audience development. However, classical concert visitors have rarely been studied in this regard. Moreover, the relationship between motivation and experience has not been studied at all. To shed light on this topic, 802 concertgoers of a concert series were surveyed before and after the conce…

Developing Digital Classical Concert Stream Offerings – A Typology of Audience Preferences
To explore the issues around the production and design of digital concert streams, we conducted an online survey of n = 1,619 classical concert stream audience members (56,5% females, mean age 49 years). Participants were asked about their preference of various characteristics of digital concert productions, their use of and experience with various stream platforms and their socio-demographics. Considering various media user typologies previously…

The Body of “the Body of Christ”
Neuroscience has become a well-accepted methodological modality in the study of religion, especially of religious behavior, personal prayer, meditation, mysticism, spiritual experience, and personal religious experiences. However, such studies have been performed on individuals only; none have helped scholars understand the neuro-physiological correlates of religious communities, religious interactions, collective liturgical action, or the like. …
Physiological synchrony in audiences of live concerts
The aesthetic experience of live concerts
Music listening can lead to strong aesthetic experiences.However, to gain deeper insights into such experiences, more empirical research outside of laboratory settings is required.The current exploratory study measured aesthetic experience (music-induced emotions and absorption) in combination with psychophysiology (facial electromyography and arousal measures) from 98 participants during three live concerts with a program of classical, romantic,…
Comparing the aesthetic experience of classic–romantic and contemporary classical music
Current models of aesthetic experience of music (AEM) have emerged in the recent years capitalizing on evidence from psychology and neuroscience research, thus modeling mainly cognitive and information processes in the brain. However, a large part of the empirical research on which these models are based is related to Western tonal music, while another style of Western music, namely, contemporary classical music (CCM), has been almost neglected. …

Viral tunes
Beyond immediate health risks, the COVID-19 pandemic poses a variety of stressors, which may require expensive or unavailable strategies during a pandemic (e.g., therapy, socialising). Here, we asked whether musical engagement is an effective strategy for socio-emotional coping. During the first lockdown period (April–May 2020), we surveyed changes in music listening and making behaviours of over 5000 people, with representative samples from thre…
Experiencing musical beauty
A listener’s aesthetic engagement with a musical piece often reaches peaks in response to passages experienced as especially beautiful. The present study examined the extent to which responses to such self-identified beautiful passages (BPs), in self-selected music, may be distinguishable in terms of their affective qualities. In an online survey, participants indicated pieces in which they considered specific passages to be outstandingly beautif…
Cross-Cultural Work in Music Cognition
Many foundational questions in the psychology of music require cross-cultural approaches, yet the vast majority of work in the field to date has been conducted with Western participants and Western music. For cross-cultural research to thrive, it will require collaboration between people from different disciplinary backgrounds, as well as strategies for overcoming differences in assumptions, methods, and terminology. This position paper surveys t…
“The sound of affect”
Throughout life, music plays an important role in individuals’ everyday affective experiences. Previous findings suggest that preferences for, and perceptions of, music with distinct affective qualities might differ for individuals from different age groups. To date, however, evidence from age-comparative studies across adulthood is rare and little is known about the mechanisms that contribute to age differences in music perception. In an age-het…
