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.

The Path towards more Powerful Formative Forces in Music

True Enlivenment of the Physical- Acoustic Space

The Essential Task of the Musician

Perfection of the Formative Forces
in Music

With his understanding, the listener cognizes the “horizontal” compositional systems of order; with his feeling he grasps the “vertical” musical relations of power.
Therefore, the qualities of feeling and understanding are effective on all levels of music: in the world of the sound-space, in the world of the motif, in the world of the sequence, and in the world of the harmony.

When these two fundamental qualities of the intellect – feeling and understanding – are realized by the musician as efficient and mighty formative forces in music, they finally appear before him in their perfection on the level of harmony.

The musical sound-space, the world of the inner musical imagination, is equally enlivened by the feeling and by the understanding; and the art of the musician lies particularly in radiating this enlivenment, this lively multiplicity, even into the physical-acoustic space and to enliven it so that the listener comprehends life itself as his own threefold food of knowledge:

as a soothing, warming strengthening of his feeling,

as a refreshing, cooling elucidation of his understanding, and

as the fulfilling realization of his own inner nature, of his inner power and inner beauty, through the lively, mutual permeation of the qualities of his feeling and understanding.
