I couldn't put my hands on it right now, but the idea was expressed in Aaron Copland's book "What to Listen for in Music." I did a quick search at Amazon.com and saw that he refers to it as the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. The terminology I used was a little different, but is also referred to in a book titled "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (don't ask me to pronounce it, it was all I could do to spell it correctly). He calls it the sensory stage, the analogic stage, and analytic stage, but the concept is basically the same. He goes on to talk about how as we get more "into" the music we experience what he calls "flow", similar to athletes who are in the "zone". Also, while listening to music may help us achieve "flow" it is even better if we create music by playing it. That's where I come up short. I don't play an instrument and I can't carry a tune in a bucket.In a nutshell, I am a classic case of "I don't know much, but I know what I like."
