I made use of this image specifically because we get to see how the performer transmits a certain kind of emotion and sense of connectivity to the audience.

One musical example outside Ratliff's playlist that utilizes transmission is "Love on the Brain" by Rihanna. Right from the beginning, she talks about how she is slowly giving in to this guys emotions as he tries his very best to manipulate  her into a relationship. The background music and her voice is calmer than the over all bridge. The bridge gets more intense as she realizes he is not worth it. The emotions displayed in tho song allows for connectivity to be transmitted to the listener and this depicts effective use of transmission as the song progresses from one musical rhythm to another.

One musical example from Ratliffs  playlist is Beethoven's Egmont Overtune. One thing Ratliff specifically points out about the title of the song is how this song could have been named  '" William Tell'' or ''Jeanne d' Arc''  but it was not because the song posses perculiar and powerful qualities and characteristics of Beethovens innovative musicality. The song makes use of musical transmissions right from the start to the end. The rhythm and melody at the beginning start off very dramatic and dense and then gradually transmits a more subtle and peaceful vibe after a few seconds. The song transmits and evokes all sorts of feelings to the listeners and I feel this is a good way of incorporating the element of transmission into a musical piece.

I selected this image because headphones are very powerful tools that help evoke or transmit all sorts of emotions while listening to music.

Transmission in music refers to the way music is progressed and passed on to whoever the listener is regardless of the genre of music involved. It is the way music is transmitted from one element to another that ultimately delivers a reaction to the listener. Ratliff's argument on the transmission of emotions in music is one that I find very interesting because I had never looked at it from the angle he addressed in the book. I will agree with Ratliff on his argument because music itself does not necessarily denote specific kind of emotion but can imitate emotions such as anger, happiness, sadness, confusion.
