The Musical Act beyond Rhetoric

The act of the classical music creator is not so much aimed at explaining what truth actually is; for truth is what it is anyway – with or without the musical creator or the listener.

The composer mainly focuses on guiding his listener
4. 5, 5. 6, 10. 19, 11. 20, 17. 31, 18. 32
like a somnambulant or a dreamer, but also like a knower, to the source of wisdom
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21
and there to let him drink from the immortal nectar.
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21
6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15. 25, 16. 26
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28
1.-3. 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 18. 33, 19. 34
1.-3. 2, 3, 12.-14. 22, 23, 19.-21. 34, 35
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33
1.-3. 1, 2, 12.-14. 23, 24, 19.-21. 35, 36

So the composer concentrates on the path
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
4, 6-9, 11, 15-21
and sees to it that, when treading this path together,
the trust and the confidence of his listener grows.
