Abstract

The topic of analogical relationship between hearing and meaning has strong repercussions in the history of musical understanding. The high-low couple, the ground of spatial dimension in music, turns in a lot of metaphorical meanings which show the way that draws from perceptual data to imaginative values. In this paper, I reconstruct a shirt history of the relationship between hearing and imagination starting from the metaphorical conception of musical hearing from Aristotelian environment to phenomenological perspective.
