The Harmonizing Nature of True Classical Music
|
|
|
|
|
The nature of true classical music is such that, even at its root, it rules out such effects because it is capable of bringing fulfilment to our search for knowledge. Original classical music aims at the integrated knowledge of the musical truth beyond space and time and of the musical reality within space and time, and it is able to conjure up this knowledge in a keen listener.
|
|
Integrated Knowledge of the Musical Truth |
|
|
In the process of gaining musical cognition, therefore, doubt results only from the inability to comprehend the natural union of the two given musical fullnesses, and this lack of insight leaves the listener behind unsatisfied on his path of gaining knowledge in music.
|
|
The Music Listener Abandoned |
|
|
However, the purpose proper of gaining musical knowledge is to melt these two fullnesses the one we explore by listening to music, and the one which reveals itself to us when we create music into a single fullness, to make one common fullness out of two fullnesses.
|
|
Fusing the Two Fullnesses of Music |
|
|
Indeed, dispelling any doubt in the listener is the purpose of true classical music, which arises from a state of doubtlessness in the composer, from the natural state of unity sustained by his continuous perception of the vibrating absolute sound-substance in his own musical tools of cognition.
