Abstract: This essay defends the analysis that music is expressive of an emotion or other mental state insofar as it induces one to hear it as the personal or personlike expression of that mental state. Various competing theories of musical expressiveness, notably those of Malcolm Budd, Stephen Davies, Robert Stecker, and Roger Scruton, are submitted to critical examination.
Keywords: music, emotion, mental state, expression, Malcolm Budd, Stephen Davies, Robert Stecker, Roger Scruton,
