You have good questions. It�s funny that even after all this time we still classify music by emotion instead of the more intellectual parameters: Is it in a major or minor key? Is it slow or fast? Does it modulate to its relative major/minor? These are much more relevant questions than: Is this a happy/sad piece? Oh well. You are right. It�s cultural, and especially now that children are being taught music less and less in school by often completely unqualified people, it�s to be expected. * sight *
