TABLE 5-1 Acoustic Expression of Emotional States: According To Friederich Marpurg (1718-1795) Emotion Expression

This document discusses Friedrich Marpurg's views on how different emotional states can be expressed through music. It lists 14 different emotions - such as sorrow, happiness, fear, love, and wrath - and provides descriptions of the musical elements that were thought to convey each emotion, such as slow melodies and dissonant harmony for sorrow or fast movement and triumphant melody for happiness. It also briefly outlines the proposed physical, mental and emotional impacts of different musical genres, such as spiritual awareness from sacred music, lowered stress from Gregorian chants, and aggression from heavy metal or punk.
