Recenzje

...Patrik Juslin's aim to explain listeners' musical emotions from a psychological perspective is fully achieved. Perhaps designed as a textbook for a course on music psychology, it also meets the needs of scholars from other disciplines; all terms are clearly explained regardless of their disciplinary origin, and little is assumed. Stephanie Rocke, Emotions: History, Culture, Society
