Synthesis and Analysis in Superficial Musical Deduction
The
System
of the Creative Process in Music
However, we find yet another kind of superficial deduction, namely the deduction of a surface from the content, and this refers to the creative process in music as it extends from the absolute force-field of the harmony through the sequence-spaces and the motif-spaces into the musical sound-space.
In this case, the content of the music – the infinitely condensed, universal, musical multiplicity of the harmony – is systematically made grosser, and in the course of this "creating" it appears as the musical creation of a composer.
These
two kinds of superficial deduction correspond either to a deduction from our
standpoint as music listeners, or to a deduction from our standpoint as music
creators.
In the dissimilarity of their deduction they are very naturally rooted in
the dissimilarity of our states of knowledge.
