The #2 type is translating sounds into ideas, I mean. And see above, where 1 and 2 feel more like "modes" than actual attainable stances or ideologies -- we can tend toward 1 more than 2, but can't actually separate the two? Something like that. (I think that #1 strikes me more as the aesthete's appreciation and #2 strikes me more as the intellectual's appreciation; both have something to offer but many tend toward one while incorporating ideas of the other?)
