Some did sense tension.. Some mentioned the abrupt tone attacks as stated in the earlier chart.. Expressed it as rather than “anger”
	Listener quotes:
	“Sensed distress or conflict, anxiousness”
	“I think it's kind of creepy, it sounds kind of lonely but kind of like a music box, the sound certainly wasnt happy. it was more like a timid, melancholy frustration.”
	“Minor key, but because notes are in higher register and the tempo is not as slow, it evokes tenderness instead of sadness.”
	“This piece conveys fear to me because of the minor chords used and the steady, quick tempo throughout the piece. The tempo of the song reminds me of the anxiety one feels when afraid.”
