Aversion to
music, especially the violin is one of the peculiar symptoms.

but cannot hold it.” Gross experienced the former and Stapf the latter of these.
Gross also noted, “Tension which at times extends to upper half of face, especially of nose, thence to forehead
and temples, as far as ears, alternating with a similar sensation in occiput and cervical muscles.”
