The perception of music depends on many culture-specific factors,
but is also constrained by properties of the auditory system. This
has been best characterized for those aspects of music that involve
pitch. Pitch sequences are heard in terms of relative as well as
absolute pitch. Pitch combinations give rise to emergent properties
not present in the component notes. In this review we discuss the
basic auditory mechanisms contributing to these and other perceptual
effects in music.
