Abstract;Our purpose is to easily retrieve a listener's favorite music from a large number of musical pieces. The relationship between the musical features of music and the impression which these features give the listener is analyzed and reported. Listeners listen to the given musical piece and evaluate their impression. Then, the musical piece was classified according to the degree of positive impression, and the relationship between the degree of impression and the musical feature was analyzed. It was confirmed that the variance of certain musical features of favorite musical pieces is smaller than the variance of all musical pieces. In other words, it was confirmed that favorite musical pieces were concentrated along certain musical feature axes. (author abst.)
