Emotional Patterns in Intonation and Music

0.1 We want to describe the melodic patterns of ten different emotions or emotional attitudes chosen more or less arbitrarily. Our paper is based on records of conversations, dramas, radio-plays as well as on experiments made with actors on the one hand, and on vocal and instrumental musical compositions, on the other. We are grateful to J I N O S FEBENCSIK, chief musical director of the Hungarian State Opera House, B E N C E SZABOLCSI, academician and J 6 Z S E F U J E A LUSSY, doctor of musicology, who helped us greatly in the selection of the musical material. Many thanks for the critical remarks of J I N O S MARÖTHY, doctor of musicology. We hope, our data, our correct or incorrect statements will give an occasion for professor Οχτο VON ESSEN, the excellent expert of speech-melody, to enrich the phonetic literature with further valuable studies.
