CONVEYING TRUTH IN MUSIC
     
         
 
The Wayless Way
of Gaining Knowledge in Music


   
 
The lis­tener loves truth; this is why he strives for it. And when, even­tu­ally, he reaches and per­ceives the truth – or in other words: when truth un­folds be­fore his men­tal eye in more and more glo­ri­ous mu­si­cal forms – the lis­tener at­tracts truth closer and closer to him­self and fi­nally unites with it with­out hav­ing to take a sin­gle step out­side.

 
The Listener as Philosopher – as Lover of Truth
 
 
Thus, true clas­si­cal mu­sic not only con­firms the lis­tener as a seeker of truth, but first of all it sys­tem­ati­cally en­ables and en­cour­ages him to ac­tu­ally at­tract truth.

 
The Philosophical Act of Classical Music
 
 
While the sci­en­tific sys­tem of phi­loso­phy sup­ports the gain­ing of knowl­edge only in­di­rectly – be­cause it only paraphrases and dif­fer­en­ti­ates the ob­jects of knowl­edge – mu­sic di­rectly de­picts these ob­jects and re­lates them to our in­tui­tive fac­ulty of com­pre­hend­ing re­al­ity.

 
Knowing the Object in Music
 
 
Through his mu­si­cal state­ment the clas­si­cal com­poser succes-sively stimu­lates in the lis­tener very dis­tinct spaces of cog­ni­tion to re­sound; he de­ter­mines the pro­por­tions be­tween them in such a way that they vibrate har­mo­ni­ously to­wards each other and to­gether.

 
Resounding Spaces of Cognition in Music
 
 
When he cre­ated the mu­si­cal work the com­poser, too, had set these in­ner sound­ing spaces of cog­ni­tion vi­brat­ing within him-self, and there­fore he knows their ef­fect on the in­di­vid­ual per­son­al­ity: on the in­di­vid­ual soul.
