This week we will explore an analogy that I have been interested in for a while, one that links classical cognitive science to traditional classical music. Then we will push this analogy further, by examining modern music's reaction to classical structures, and the analogy between modern music and embodied cognitive science. Finally, we raise this question: if something as complex as music composition can be described in an embodied way, then is it not plausible that more mundane cognition can be as well?
