| Description | This chapter distinguishes between the following two kinds of empathic process, broadly speaking – low-level perception-action processes, involving mimicry of expressive behavior, and high-level affective empathy, involving: "higher" cognitive processes – as they apply to the experience of music. Low-level interactions through music can be found in the interactions between parents and their new born babies. Something similar occurs when listeners to music feel with the emotional properties of music via so-called "emotional contagion". The idea that music can arouse emotions only via the mimicry of behavioral characteristics of emotions that have a uniquely identifying set of behaviors associated with them limits the emotions in music with which listeners can empathize. The chapter demonstrates that both low-level emotional contagion and high-level affective empathy can function to aid in the understanding of the protagonist in vocal music or the performer, composer, or, more generally, the "persona" in some pieces of pure instrumental music.
