Laney Conley · Answer 1

C) the idea that only one feeling should be communicated in a piece of music

Explanation:

According to the interpretation of this theory, a musical idea was not just a representation of affection but its true materialization. That's why the Option C is no correct because, for the Doctrine of Affections, the song is the materialization of several feelings, almost an orchestra of feelings, and depending on the music strength or the symbolism of it, you can feel all these sensations.
