 Langer’s view has been attacked on various grounds (see Budd 1985: chapter 6 and S. Davies 1994: chapter 3). Perhaps the most obvious objection is that music’s dynamic structure matches that of emotions just as well as that of many other phenomena, but Langer’s view does not explain why music is not a symbol of them too (Budd 1985: 114; Green 2007 offers a more plausible view of the congruence between music and emotions).
