Fundamentals of Modern Musicology


 
Only if the sci­ence of mu­sic con­cen­trates in es­sence on the sys­tem­atic ex­plo­ra­tion of our self-con­scious­ness – when it suc­ceeds in per­form­ing this re­search pro­gram with sci­en­tifi­cally-ob­jec­tively veri­fi­able suc­cess – only then will it truly unite with mu­sic and make the genu­ine knowl­edge of the ori­gin, es­sence, and goal of mu­sic uni­ver­sally avail­able.

 
Making the Genuine Understanding of Music Generally Accessible
In­deed, our self is na­ture-given, is in­born to man; but this does not mean auto­mati­cally that eve­ry­one has dis­cov­ered his self-aware­ness, this basis of the art of sound, and brought it to un­fold­ment within him­self.

 
Spiritual Awakening of the Music Creator
But also for the full use of our in­tel­lect, our feel­ing and un­der­stand­ing, as well as our in­ner sense of hear­ing, the de­vel­op­ment of our self-aware­ness is of fun­da­men­tal im­por­tance.
For it is our self-aware­ness, through which en­ergy and in­tel­li­gence flow to our in­ner or­gans of cog­ni­tion – the en­ergy and in­tel­li­gence that is needed to truly and au­then­ti­cally com­pre­hend the work of mu­sic.

 
The Significance of the Self-Awareness for Our Tools of Cognition
The state of deep sleep – as dif­fer­ent from the state of rest­ful alert­ness – is only an ex­pres­sion of the fact that our in­ner sense of hear­ing and our in­tel­lect are in­suf­fi­ciently nour­ished.
In such a case we are ab­so­lutely ill-pre­pared for au­then­tic mu­sic-lis­ten­ing – not to speak of mu­sic-cre­at­ing – from the very onset of our cog­niz­ing fac­ulty, since we are asleep at the very depth of mu­si­cal crea­tiv­ity.

 
Beyond Musical Creativity
There­fore, we can rec­og­nize the in­ner flow of natu­ral mu­si­cal-crea­tive un­fold­ment in pieces at best; our “mu­si­cal in­sights” can at best con­sist of sound­ing, finite frag­ments from the pe­riph­ery of an origi­nally com­plete mu­sic.
