Aar Edition International, Musical Insight into the Culture of Peoples, Peter Huebner, Natural Music Creation, The Systems of Order in Music

The Book “Natural Music Creation” is a document and – according to the author – it stands as a token of gratitude to all those great talents or even geniuses who, out of their innermost love for the art of sound, kept the inner reality of music alive throughout the times.

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.

Conclusions from the Understanding and the Presentation of the Musical Sound-Space

Musical Degree of Order and General Human Evolution

Musical Order and Cultural Order

Musical Insight into the Culture
of Peoples

In this terms, the music of different peoples no longer appears as the expression of the separation of entirely different cultures, but rather as an expression of the degree of subtlety in which the natural spectrum of overtones is perceived. And this, in turn, results in different cultures having different methods of presenting the musical sound-space.

Therefore the music of different cultures with their different levels of development shows different perception of the degree of order of human evolution, which again is differently expressed in music.

From this one can conclude that the music of different peoples, or of the same people at different times or at different places, is not different because of an imaginary difference of cultures, but because different levels of human evolution have been reached, and have been expressed in their music.

From this music-theoretical analysis we may further conclude that, as far as musical order is concerned, different cultures do not really exist. There are only higher and lower levels of human evolution which express themselves in varying degrees of musical order.
