There­fore, the mu­si­cal crea­tor spares no per­sonal effort; with skil­ful per­sua­sion he in­duces the lis­tener to walk the path to­wards higher mu­si­cal knowl­edge – un­til the lis­tener has reached the su­preme mu­si­cal knowl­edge of the har­mony, and thereby, the field of his pure self-knowl­edge.

Cer­tainly, the pos­si­bil­ity of con­sid­era­tion al­ways re­mains with the lis­tener in the mu­si­cal proc­ess of his evo­lu­tion, but the com­poser per­suades the lis­tener, con­vinces him, be­seeches him, entreats him ear­nestly, gives him new ex­plana­tions again and again, and even­tu­ally guides him in these many ways with in­creas­ingly skil­ful per­sua­sion out of the limi­ta­tions of day-to-day life to the heights of mu­si­cal knowl­edge, into the realm of in­di­vid­ual free­dom.

Also, the mu­si­cal crea­tor takes into ac­count the fusspot, who, in the rou­tine of his day-to-day life, tries to safe­guard him­self ma­te­ri­al­is­ti­cally eve­ry­where, and se­ri­ously be­lieves in such se­cu­rity.
On quiet ways he takes him to the uncon­ven­tional con­sid­era­tions of im­mor­tal­ity, into a com­pletely imma­te­rial world – with­out any ma­te­ri­alis­tic safety, in­deed, with­out even a thought of it.

Be­fore the cog­niz­ing eye of his mu­sic lis­tener, in the sound­ing de­scrip­tion, the mu­si­cal crea­tor con­tinu­ously weighs the ad­van­tages of this or of that path to higher mu­si­cal knowl­edge, to more joy, to greater hap­pi­ness.

And if, at first, the lis­tener is not able yet to be­lieve all the joy and hap­pi­ness – due to his pre­sent men­tal-psy­chical con­sti­tu­tion – and there­fore re­jects him, then the mu­si­cal crea­tor skil­fully di­verts his mind away from his bleak thoughts and then takes him, for ex­ample, to a gen­eral dis­cus­sion of fate and into a mu­si­cal de­bate on the in­flu­ences of the en­vi­ron­ment.

At first, he will show the lis­tener that in­flu­ences of the en­vi­ron­ment may in­deed re­strict the free course of man’s life. But then he dispels this outer limi­ta­tion again sys­tem­ati­cally and skil­fully.
