These outstanding personalities we know as our great musical creators. But also, this “autobiography of music” is a landmark of the generation of a new age, a generation which today, with scientific accuracy, penetrates into the mechanism of musical creativity, systematically performs research on it, and wants to authentically capture the art of our great masters of music. The first sense of achievement of the modern music student, then, lies in the development of his ability to listen to music creatively – that ability which since all times represents the timeless, true inner basis of the art of sound.

Music as a Fad
Secrecy of the Process of Creating Music
Conventional Knowledge of Music
Conventional
music theory grasps the composition only in its peripheral effects. With the
conventional means of musical analysis only the outer physiology of music
is being analyzed, and this outer mechanical procedure does not even permit
a judgement of whether it is actual live music or only a “computer-made” composition.
Thus, with the current means of externally gaining scientific knowledge of
music one studies music, but misses the essence of it.
Music
essentially is concerned with something non-musical, with something generally
human.
Music itself corresponds to the inner nature of man, and its outer sound-appearance
corresponds to his clothes. And the latter, the outer musical garment, the
gross musical form, is all that is made accessible in conventional musicological
research.
Even if our clothes fit well, and even if the style of the dress matches our taste and the taste of our time, none of us would want to be judged by his clothes alone.
The
status quo of the current scientific musical research is only the expression
of the secrecy which surrounds the systematic process of the genuine creation
of music since centuries.
The outstanding reputation that many a great musician enjoyed in society led
to a point where the talents among them were pressed into the role of heroes
by the cheering crowd, and consequently the simple credo of straightforward
creativity was suppressed.
