The Artistic

Music Creator

Finally, in the course of this permanently weighing the parts against the whole – the smaller orders, combined into a great one, being weighed against this greater one as a whole – the music listener gradually learns to distinguish the parts within the whole, too, as if one would learn to perceive the components of the tree within the seed.
This cognizing the diversity within unity systematically increases the intellectual fulfilledness of the listener and stirs his natural, intellectual joy of knowledge.

At the same time, however, the music listener feels tempted to catch more and more powerful truths with his net of knowledge now structured more and more tightly, for if he succeeds, he feels more and more powerful.

In this process he releases higher and higher inner worlds of power within himself and draws from fields of higher and higher energy.

Finally, the music listener learns the lucky strike: he casts the tightest imaginable of all nets of cognition, the most golden, the most shining of all nets, and makes the greatest catch known in music: he catches the harmony.

And when the successful listener examines his catch more closely, he finds that the net is a mirror and the harmony his own reflection, and he realizes that he has caught himself. This fills him with delight, for now he knows that he has power over himself; after all, who can make such a claim?

At the same time, the listener understands that, by exercising the power over himself, he guarantees his outside freedom; because suddenly he becomes so wide-awake on the level of his own innermost formative forces, that he can skillfully dodge all outer manipulation.
In this manner he turns into a single fighter on the musical battle-field of forces: he becomes a hero.

Very clearly he feels invincible from outside.

Thus he dances in the round dance of his own, free, inner decisions, of his own inner fantasy of life, with the seven-league boots of his own inner faculties of cognition through his creative world, and from there occassionally into his surroundings.
And people will say he is untroubled and happy, unshakeable and determined in action, liberal and amicable.

Are such insights new? Do they depend on the sound of certain musical works? Obviously, such an inner experience already exists within the music listener – within man – and the art of tones only stimulates this kind of experience.
And the artistic achievement of the musical poet lies in the process of condensation in his works, and his art lies in teaching his listener how to use the truth-catching net of knowledge – how to refine his thinking, feeling, understanding, and hearing: he teaches him the art of poetry – indeed, in such an unobtrusive, discreet and loving manner, that his listener is willing to travel with him into unknown distances full of confidence, and that he does not get tangled in doubts on this path of knowledge.
