The Stream
of Musical Gaining Knowledge


  
Thereat the com­poser walks off many merg­ing ways of knowl­edge (po­lyph­ony serves this pur­pose); from these motif paths he ar­rives at more and more con­cen­trated se­quence paths, and fi­nally he en­ters the great stream of mu­si­cal gain­ing knowl­edge which flows from the se­quence spaces into the in­fi­nite space of the har­mony.

  
The Listener’s Freedom to Choose the Path
How­ever, the mu­si­cal crea­tor leaves the com­plete free­dom of choice to his lis­tener; in his work he lays out for him so many way-pat­terns of mu­si­cal gain­ing knowl­edge that the lis­tener can de­ter­mine his in­di­vid­ual mu­si­cal path of cog­ni­tion with a feel­ing of per­sonal choice, with­out the feel­ing of be­ing dic­tated.

  
It is a fixed prin­ci­ple:
that the mu­si­cal crea­tor ensures in his work in many ways that the lis­tener reaches unen­cum­bered the great goal: the es­sence of mu­sic: the har­mony, and thus the crea­tive field of his self-knowl­edge.
  
With Free Strides the Listener Reaches the Goal
It is a fixed prin­ci­ple:
    that the mu­si­cal crea­tor firmly es­tab­lishes his lis­tener in the in­fi­nite force-field of the har­mony, and thus gives him a per­ma­nent ex­peri­ence of his pure self-knowl­edge.

  
Permanent Experience of Pure Self-Knowledge in the Listener
is a fixed prin­ci­ple:
    that eve­ry true mu­si­cal crea­tor is aware that he him­self has to go the way of mu­si­cal cog­ni­tion in his work to set his lis­tener an ex­ample, and that nei­ther any wide-spread “ex­pert’s opin­ion” on mu­sic nor the taste of the masses, nei­ther per­sonal ma­te­ri­alis­tic con­sid­era­tion nor at­tacks from crit­ics, nor any pseudo-au­thor­ity of the mu­sic scene must con­fuse or even re­strict him.

  
The Responsibility of the Composer
The true mu­si­cal crea­tor is di­rectly and ex­clu­sively com­mited to his lis­tener striv­ing for pure knowl­edge.
All his at­ten­tion is focussed on guiding the lis­tener to­wards higher and fi­nally the high­est mu­si­cal in­sight.

  
The Natural Duty of the Musical Creator
It is a fixed prin­ci­ple:
    that the mu­si­cal crea­tor at­tracts the lis­tener from his lim­ited world of the sound­ing mu­si­cal ex­peri­ence to­wards him­self, to the sphere of the har­mony – into the world of pure self-knowl­edge.

  
Resounding Musical Experience on the Path to Pure Self-Knowledge
In this re­spect it is a fixed prin­ci­ple:
    that the lis­tener goes the mu­si­cal path to­wards the com­poser, and is in this man­ner sys­tem­ati­cally taught to be a com­poser him­self.
