The essay, not that I think you're serious, is from "Languages of the Mind:
Essays on Mental Representation" by Ray Jackendoff, MIT Press, 1992. I found
a 1995 paperback edition from the local bookstore. The point is, here was one 
plausible explanation (as long as we will try to explain why we listen to or 
react to GG the way we do, or why those philistines out there are bashing GG, 
we are stuck with hypothetical models of the mind) why a patterned, emotional 
response (negative or positive) persists even after repeated listening. At the 
same time that a particular melody, cadence, or interpretation affects us 
emotionally, it is also "checked" by the judgemental and well-experienced, 
conscious mind. This happens instantaneously and synchroneously (like a 
parallel processor). Hence, you will always have that strange urge to throw up 
every time you hear the macarena (YOU HAD TO BRING THIS UP! You are one piece 
of parser!) or feel suspended if that Bach Courante you were listening to did 
not resolve to its home key. 

P.S. I'm curious...which recording of the Beethoven Cello Sonata(s) were you 
     listening to?
