Description
Why does the brain create music? In Beethoven's Anvil, cognitive scientist and jazz musician William Benzon finds the key to music's function in the complexity of musical experience. A coordination of mental functions (symbol-processing capacities, motor skills, and emotional and communicative skills) underlies our deep need to create and participate in music.
