ART FOR ART’S SAKE;How We Listen
1 We all listen to music according to our separate
capacities. But, for the sake of analysis, the whole
listening process may become clearer if we break it
up into its component parts, so to speak. In a certain
sense we all listen to music on three separate planes.
For lack of a better terminology, one might name
these: (1) the sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane,
(3) the sheerly musical plane. The only advantage to
be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening

plane is an important one in music, a very important
one, but it does not constitute the whole story.
5 The second plane on which music exists is what
I have called the expressive one. Here, immediately,
