Passage Summary: Emotions are made of a basic feeling plus social context; because music is just sound and can't provide that context, it can only trigger the basic feeling.

Conclusion: Music can only elicit the core feeling of an emotion, rather than the full emotion itself.

Reasoning: Emotions are distinguished by social context and behavior, but music is only sound and cannot create those social or behavioral elements.

Analysis: The claim that 'music is merely sound' serves as a premise that limits the capabilities of music. By defining music this way, the theorist can argue that music lacks the 'ingredients' (social conditions and behavior) necessary to distinguish one emotion from its pair, such as love from joy. I identified this as a premise because it is offered as a reason ('therefore') why music cannot create social conditions, which in turn supports the final conclusion. It is the foundational 'fact' upon which the rest of the theorist's restriction on music is built.
