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 Concept of Space in Music

Hardly a word is used with so many meanings on so many different levels as the word “space.” People’s fantasy has given this word manifold meaning from a simple “room” to the universe, and the musical sound-space, too, is just one of the many “spaces” in man’s imagination.

The awareness of space arises from the relative awareness of differences – from duality to diversity, or separateness – the distance between two or more things. On the level of sensory experience the feeling of space requires an affirmation of separateness through sensory perception. In this process a dynamic change of the spatial world must take place in time; indeed, our relative awareness of space actually originates and grows only with a change of the mental space of our imagination.

Under the outer hull of the sound-space the musical parameters move as if in different layers.

The material of the musical sound-space can be compared to our material body, while the motif-space can be compared to our subtle body. The motif-space enlivens the musical sound-space from within, it structures it and holds it together.

In this terms, the sequence may be understood as our mind which, from within, from a state of even greater subtlety, enlivens, structures, and integrates our subtle body, which corresponds to the motif-spaces.

The infinite harmony-space may be compared to that basis of our mind which, from within, from the state of greatest subtlety, enlivens, structures and integrates the mind, which in turn corresponds to the sequence-spaces.
