  • My translation of ‘Wenn z.B. der Anfang einer bekannten Melodie ertönt, so erregt er bestimmte Intentionen, die in der schrittweisen Ausgestaltung der Melodie ihre Erfüllung finden. Ähnliches findet auch dann statt, wenn uns die Melodie fremd ist. Die im Melodischen obwaltenden Gesetzmäβigkeiten bedingen Intentionen, die zwar der vollen gegenständlichen Bestimmtheit ermangeln, aber doch auch Erfüllungen finden oder finden können’ (Husserl, 1968, vol. II/2, p. 39).

  • My translation of ‘Jede Wahrnehmung hat ihren retentionalen und protentionalen Hof. […] Jede Empfindung hat ihre Intentionen, die vom Jetzt auf ein neues Jetzt usw. führen: die Intention auf Zukunft, und andererseits die Intention auf Vergangenheit’ (Husserl, 2000, p. 91).
  • My translation of ‘Also tatsächlich ist das Wahrnehmen einer Melodie ein zeitlich ausgebreiteter, sich allmählich und stetig entfaltender Akt, […] und dieser Akt hat einen immer neu und neuen Punkt des “Jetzt”, und in diesem Jetzt wird etwas als Jetzt gegenständlich (jetzt gehörter Ton), während zugleich ein Soeben-vergangen, und wieder ein Noch-weiter-vergangen in einigen Gliedern gegenständlich ist; und vielleicht auch ein oder das andere gegenständlich als “künftig”’ (Husserl, 1985, pp. 33–34).
  • This also works for the perception of a single tone of long duration and its various phases; see Husserl (2000), pp. 55–57 & 73.
  • The convention with respect to the square brackets used here is to be understood as follows: every step forward in time is symbolised by bracketing; and left brackets to the immediate left of right brackets cancel out. Thus, the protension]]A[[gets a []]A[[]=]A[next and then turns into []A[]= A, i.e. into a primal impression.
  • Indeed this is enough of a reconstruction of Husserl's theory for our purposes. The full picture, however, would be a little more complex. For to reconstruct our sense of the passage of time, it is not enough that the retention [A] I am having at the time t2 is related to the primal impression A I had at t1. Indeed [A] has to encompass all the retensions and protensions I had at t1 as well—see Miller (1984), ch. 7.
