Abstract
This article is based on the assumption of the power of music to change the listener’s mood. The proposal studies the participants’ changes in emotional states through listening different auditions. This way it is possible to answer to the question if music is able to induce positive and negative emotions in the listener. The present research focuses on the musical parameter of note value through its four basic components of the parameter note value, namely, beat, rhythm, harmonic rhythm and rhythmic accompaniment to detect the individual preferences of the listeners. The initial results prove that the influence of beat in music for eliciting emotions is dependent of the personality of each participant in terms of neuroticism and extraversion.
