Every listener should turn on his/her mind when listening.  Besides,
whatever we call spirit or soul or something else is also part of the
mind.

But of course it depends on the listener.  The very same work can be
perceived by one listener as "appealing to the mind" (which usually
means, unfortunately, that it's a work one should know but one doesn't
enjoy) and by another, as appealing to emotions or spirit.
