The Science of Music

The Scientific Aspect in Music

The aspect of natural science in music concerns the naturalness of music, and that which is nature-given in music; that which in music corresponds to nature, and that which is nature itself in music.

The Share of Nature in Music

Insofar as the Self is nature-given and inherent in man, music at its basis is concerned with scientific research;
for, with his Self the musical creator desires the music on the level of his mind;
for, with his Self he controls and structures the music on the level of the mind through his intellect;
for, with his Self he listens to the music through his sense of hearing on the level of the mind.

Scientific Research on the Field of the Originator of Music

Insofar as the intellect, the means of gaining knowledge, is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with scientific research;

for, with his intellect the music creator controls and structures the music on the level of the mind.

Scientific Research on the Field of the Music Creator

Insofar as the sense of hearing is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with scientific research;

for, with his sense of hearing the musical creator hears the music on the level of his mind.

Scientific Research on the Field of Music Listening

Insofar as the mind is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with scientific research;

for, with his mind as his original musical instrument, the music creator creates the music.

Scientific Research on the Field of the Musical Artist

Insofar as the neurophysiology is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with the field of scientific research;

for, with his neurophysiology the music creator perceives the outer, individual effect of his music.

Scientific Research on the Field of the Musician and the Listener

Insofar as the environment is nature-given and given to man by fate, even the outer musical performance is concerned with scientific research;

for, with the help of his environment the music creator perceives the outer social effect of his music.
