THE LIVING EXAMPLE OF THE MUSICAL COGNITION OF TRUTH
The Stream of Musical Gaining Knowledge
Thereat the composer walks off many merging ways of knowledge (polyphony serves this purpose); from these motif paths he arrives at more and more concentrated sequence paths, and finally he enters the great stream of musical gaining knowledge which flows from the sequence spaces into the infinite space of the harmony.
The Listener’s Freedom to Choose the Path
However, the musical creator leaves the complete freedom of choice to his listener; in his work he lays out for him so many way-patterns of musical gaining knowledge that the listener can determine his individual musical path of cognition with a feeling of personal choice, without the feeling of being dictated.
It is a fixed principle:
that the musical creator ensures in his work in many ways that the listener reaches unencumbered the great goal: the essence of music: the harmony, and thus the creative field of his self-knowledge.
With Free Strides the Listener Reaches the Goal
It is a fixed principle:
that the musical creator firmly establishes his listener in the infinite force-field of the harmony, and thus gives him a permanent experience of his pure self-knowledge.
Permanent Experience of Pure Self-Knowledge in the Listener
is a fixed principle:
that every true musical creator is aware that he himself has to go the way of musical cognition in his work to set his listener an example, and that neither any wide-spread “expert’s opinion” on music nor the taste of the masses, neither personal materialistic consideration nor attacks from critics, nor any pseudo-authority of the music scene must confuse or even restrict him.
The Responsibility of the Composer
The true musical creator is directly and exclusively commited to his listener striving for pure knowledge. All his attention is focussed on guiding the listener towards higher and finally the highest musical insight.
The Natural Duty of the Musical Creator
It is a fixed principle:
that the musical creator attracts the listener from his limited world of the sounding musical experience towards himself, to the sphere of the harmony into the world of pure self-knowledge.
Resounding Musical Experience on the Path to Pure Self-Knowledge
In this respect it is a fixed principle:
that the listener goes the musical path towards the composer, and is in this manner systematically taught to be a composer himself.
