Schoenberg put it this way: music is a succession of tones and tone combinations so organized as
to have an agreeable effect on the listener, and its impression on the
intelligence is comprehensible. These impressions
have the power to influence our consciousness and
emotions that makes us live in a dreamland of fulfilled desires or
in a dreamed hell. |

Spatial intelligence entails a number of related capabilities: the ability to recognize instances of the same element; the ability to transform or to recognize a transformation
of one element into another; the capacity to conjure up mental imagery and then
to transform that imagery; the capacity to produce a graphic
likeness of spatial
information. |

One facet of spatial

Whereas the cortex serves as the

relatively lowly basal ganglia
