Major chords sound contented. Minor chords sound apprehensive. Why?
Why do different kinds of chords have different emotional impressions on music listeners?

That's the idea of minor and major chords. I like to describe them as:
Major chords sound full while minor chords sound 'melodically false'. As you know, minor chords are mostly used in softer, more emotional songs while major chords have a much wider range.
For me it's just that semi-'false' sound of the minor chord that makes it sound 'sad' if you know what i mean.

well, David, the major chords are contended sensitive, while the minor chords are ultra inferior. I was just guessin'-GOTCHA!!!!
