Quote #4
'Even the most, 'emotive' view of music has to 'be' emotive 'about something distinct', which necessarily involves having a 'theory' about it, for better or worse, in awareness or unawareness, and that a 'musical' something distinct can be cognitively understood as an 'emotional experience' only insofar as it is first cognitively understood as a human-communicative manifestation, as an 'instance of thought'.
