in Gaining Knowledge in Music
When we came from the musical sound-space through the motif-space, and delved into the deeper musical levels of knowledge, the existence of a next higher field of musical knowledge was necessarily evident to us, because the experience of it was not available to us, unless we actually entered this field.
Thus,
in the field of the musical sound-space, we could at best anticipate the existence
of a motif-space.
Because only from some higher order, which we felt and which seemed to move
the tones, we concluded the existence of a more powerful force-field which
seemed to cause and control the movement of the tones.
In our systematic investigation into the organizing forces in the musical sound-space, we now advanced step by step into the fields of knowledge of more and more comprehensive organizing principles, and we found that, indeed, forces of a higher order governed the musical sound-space from within.
In the course of this analysis we leaned, above all, on the joyful experience of our feeling which discovered more and more joy within itself as it searched for higher orders.
Due
to this increase in joy, our intellectual gaining knowledge in music, our
emotional and our intellectual comprehension of a musical meaning beyond the
tones, was encouraged more and more.
And this encouragement was of mostly emotional nature, and it was related
to the increase of our inner sensation of happiness.
All
by intuition, our feeling then grasped the existence of higher organizing
principles.
In the musical depths, it found greater simplicity and a more effective application
of power of the subtler musical forces.
