Almost all aesthetic experiences involve perceptual experiences. For example, appreciating a picture involves seeing its colors and shapes, and appreciating a musical work involves listening to its tones and pitches. Thus, it is not surprising to believe that considerations of the nature of perceptual experience will facilitate considerations of the nature of aesthetic experience. In this study, I focus on music appreciation. I argue that the consideration of the multi-modality of perception supports not only the "thick view" on appreciation but also the formalistic distinction between "live" and "recorded" music.
