understood and experienced through musical practice. With the help
of the monochord, the reader, with a minimum of technique, is able
to explore new and unfamiliar musical realms. 'Rudolf Steiner
believed that an expansion of our tone-system was a necessity...In
this book of Ruland's, we have for the first time an account that
is penetrating enough and of sufficiently large scope to enable us
to understand why.' - Jurgen Schriefer
