There is a third way of listening, I think.
* Background/passive/party listening
* musical/structural listening
* EMOTIONAL listening
Emotional listening would be along the lines of paying deep attention to the subjective experience of a performance or piece of music. Basically:
"What is your internal/subjective correlate to the piece of music?"
Not simply "how does it make you feel", but the immediate experience of FEELING that the music evokes and how it changes. Simple words are not adequate. Action, response, responding with poetry, music, drawing, movement. Communicating WITH the performer or composer. Not simply "consuming" and not complex-ly "analyzing".
