The Art of Discrimination in Music
|
|
|
|
|
Primarily, the listener must learn to distinguish between the musical sound-space and the motif-space, between the motif-space and the sequence-space, and between the sequence-space and the harmony-space. So, he must learn to distinguish between the relative musical force-fields.

|
Discrimination of the Musical Force-Fields |
|
|
Moreover, the listener must learn to distinguish within the relative musical force-fields themselves, which means within the musical sound-space, within the motif-space, within the sequence-space, and within the absolute musical force-field of the harmony. He must learn to distinguish within the limited musical worlds within space and time, and in the unlimited musical world without space and time.
|
|
Discrimination within the Musical Force-Fields |
|
|
The music listener can achieve these two kinds of discrimination only by perceiving the perfect fundamental vibration of the absolute sound-substance right into the absolute musical force-field of the harmony. To this end, he must perceive the cosmic vibration in his tools of cognition – in his mind, in his intellect, in his feeling and understanding, and in his sense of hearing.
