'Our neurosensory system is inwardly configured music, and we
experience music as an artistic quality to the degree that a piece
of music is in tune with the mystery of our own musical structure.'
- Rudolf SteinerWhat is music? Rudolf Steiner regards the essence
of music as something spiritual, inaudible to the senses. The world
of tones, borne on the vibrations of air, is not the essential
element. 'The true nature of music, the spiritual element in
music', he says, 'is found between the tones, lies in the intervals
as an inaudible quality.'Rudolf Steiner spoke repeatedly about
music as something inherent both in the cosmos and the human being.
It played an important role in many forms of ritual and worship,
and people once perceived a link between music and the world of
stars, which was seen as the dwelling place of the gods. Nowadays
our view of music is divorced from such religious outlooks, but
research repeatedly demonstrates the profound effect it continues
to have on us. In this unique anthology of texts, compiled with a
commentary and notes by Michael Kurtz, Steiner describes the realm
of the spiritually-resonating harmonies of the spheres and our
intrinsic connection to this cosmic music. He also explores the
phenomenon of musical listening and experience, as well as Goethe's
approach to music.
