`The study of music is the study of the human being. The two are
inseparable, and eurythmy is the art which brings this most clearly
to expression. In these lectures, Rudolf Steiner guides us along a
path toward an understanding of the human form as music comes to
rest - the movements of eurythmy bringing this music back to life.'
- Dorothea Mier `Fundamentally speaking, music is the human being,
and indeed it is from music that we rightly learn how to free
ourselves from matter.' - Rudolf Steiner The focus of these eight
lectures is the source of movement and gesture in the human being.
The movement in musical experience is thus traced back to its
origin in the human instrument itself. Like the degrees of the
musical scale, Rudolf Steiner leads his select audience of young
artists through eight stages, focusing on the living principles of
discovery and renewal. Eurythmy was born in the turbulent decades
of the early twentieth century. From an individual question as to
whether it was possible to create an art based on meaningful
movement, Rudolf Steiner responded with fresh creative
possibilities for a renewal of the arts in their totality. The new
art of eurythmy was an unexpected gift. Today, music eurythmy,
along with its counterpart based on speech, is practiced as an art,
taught as a subject in schools, enjoyed as a social activity and
applied as a therapy. This definitive translation of Steiner's
original lecture course on eurythmy includes a facsimile,
transcription and translation of the lecturer's notes, together
with an introduction and index. The volume is supplemented with an
extensive `companion', featuring full commentary and notes compiled
by Alan Stott, as well as a translation of Josef Matthias Hauer's
Interpreting Melos.
