summaryThe traditional view about brain localization of higher cognitive   functions puts motor abilities and language in the left, dominant,   hemisphere and musical ones in the right. This assumption has been   more and more weakened by neuroimaging evidence showing that musical   structures significantly activate left frontal areas, during both   production and listening. Moreover, electroencephalographic data show   left and right anterior negativities elicited by syntactic violations   in linguistic and musical domains, respectively. Starting from this   evidence, I will discuss the hypothesis that both, language and music   may share a common syntactical background, motor in origin. Moreover,   I will present some very recent experiments aiming at investigating   the conductor/orchestra interaction during  music playing and how the   amount of leaderships of the conductor is related to the 'quality' of   execution.
