Summary/Abstract: The purpose of research in the musician's psychology is to offer new ways ofmusical understanding in defining interpretation as a phenomenon that calls for an integralexperience. Musical interpretation is, in many ways, a complex art. There is a puzzle ofmusical significance. If we think of paradigms of great instrumental music, such asBeethoven's or Brahms's symphonies, they seem to have no meaning what language wouldhave, but sensitive listeners will be deeply impressed. There is a puzzle of the musicalmetaphor and a continuous debate about the fact that the elemental properties of musicliterally belong to the language or can be described metaphorically. The interpretative act isfluid and determines a puzzle about how music can stir up emotions.
