Thanks for your insightful question on the degree to which felt vs. perceived emotions were represented in the computational models. It's a really important factor for sure!

Our findings highlight the importance of musicological considerations in psychological investigations of musical emotion. Even within a single musical tradition, composers' unique choices can lead to distinct outcomes for perceived emotion! (4/4)

Compared to mode, pitch height accounts for far more variance in valence ratings of Shostakovich excerpts, consistent with musicological research on the changing use of tonality in the 20th century (3/4).

Our findings regarding valence (reflecting the negative-positive emotional quality) highlight this difference clearly. Major/minor mode explains most of the variance in participants' ratings in response to Bach and Chopin's music, but cue effects play out differently for Shostakovich. (2/4)
