On being introduced to the concept of evolving human consciousness,
Brien Masters discovered that one could gain insight into the
phenomenon by examining the musical styles of different composers.
Following years of musical study and practice, he detected in the
richness of Mozart's music a reflection of humanity's emerging
consciousness of selfhood and individuality. Two hundred and fifty
years after his birth, Mozart continues to be acknowledged
universally as a musical genius. But recognition of his work goes
beyond the pleasure to be derived from listening to his music. In
the 1990s, psychologists discovered what has been called 'The
Mozart Effect', the notion that listening to Mozart enhances mental
capacities and even health! In this original study, Brien Masters
considers Mozart in the light of the evolution of human
consciousness. Could the 'effect' of Mozart's music be connected to
changes in human makeup? Masters studies Mozart's musical style and
considers the nature of the human self, or - as Rudolf Steiner
called it - the 'ego'. He shows how the laws of the self are
particularly evident in Mozart's music, demonstrating this through
analysis of his composition. As the author comments, this book
'...could be taken as an attempt as much to describe the self's
journey towards the richness of Mozart's musical style as it is to
shed Mozartean light onto the self as the central element in the
human constitution. The former perspective is a comment on the
significance of his genius appearing in the second half of the
eighteenth century. The latter has relevance, among other things,
for the debate on and understanding of the so-called Mozart Effect
today...' Full relevant musical scores are included for those who
wish to study the various pieces in greater detail.
