Abstract

In musicology consonance is defined as the state where two or more tones simultane-<br>ously presented sound pleasantly. Sensory consonance, which is perceived from tones<br> isolated from a musical context, is largely independent of listener’s cultural background<br> and musical experience. Several studies revealed that infants prefer consonant tones<br> to dissonant tones and that nonhuman animals discriminate between consonant and<br> dissonant tones. Since Helmholtz introduced the concept of sensory consonance in the<br> 19th century, sensory consonance has been studied actively. In the 1960s models became<br> able to estimate the perceived consonance of complex tones from the physical properties<br> of the tones. However, sensory consonance still contains a number of problems to be<br> solved and has been studied by multiple approaches. This paper reviews the advances<br> and issues in studies on consonance, especially sensory consonance.
