In the "Illusion of Music" article it says -

Perhaps the ultimate illusion in music, however, is the illusion of structure and form. There is nothing in a sequence of notes themselves that creates the rich emotional associations we have with music, nothing about a scale, a chord or a chord sequence that intrinsically causes us to expect a resolution.

which I find a bit alarming. It suggests that there is no difference between a piece of music and a random string of notes.
