Cover design First bars of the Concerto no. 23 by Mozart in its original (consonant) version and in altered dissonant versions, as presented auditorily to a patient who suffers from selective musical disorders as a consequence of bilateral lesions to the auditory cortex. The patient was insensitive to such striking variations in dissonance, although she was able to recognize the happy tone of the excerpts as normals do. From `Cortical deafness to dissonance' by I. Peretz et al., 928940.
