Abstract
Most music emotion theories agree that a great power of music is its ability to generate complex social emotions that are related to social activity and to the social aspects of our lives. This concluding chapter looks at recent arguments for recovering a negotiated autonomy of the artwork, focusing on a number of proposed ideas that present art either as a virtual other or virtual others, extending Gadamer’s argument for art as interlocutor. I also briefly filter Gadamer’s views through a contemporary constructivist lens to give his aesthetic theory new life.
