In this commentary, I raise several issues of method and presentation
and suggest a number of follow-up experiments associated with some of these
issues. Broad suggestions are also made (or rather preached): the need to deal
empirically with musical emotions subtler than the oft-investigated basic emotions,
and the role that interactions between musical variables may play in shaping subtle
musical expression, as exemplified by some well-known xylophone soli from the orchestral repertory.
