THE LOGIC OF THE MUSICAL FIELDS OF COGNITION |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Technique of Musical Comparison |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comparison is another means to gain knowledge of musical truth. Thus, the musical logic stimulates our inner tools of cognition to compare. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Music-Analysis and Music-Synthesis |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The technique of comparison is based on the dual function of our intellect which we previously described as being on the one hand:
|
The Dual Function of the Intellect in the Musical Cognition of Truth |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At the same time, these two processes of musical cognition, outer cognition of the music listener and inner cognition of the composer, are submitted to a comparison by our self-awareness. |
Music-Creating and Music-Listening in Comparison |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thus, our intellect, our feeling and understanding, are integrated towards the level of pure self-awareness and are thereby raised musically into the field of the harmony; for only in this absolute musical force-field of the harmony our tools of cognition can make a perfect comparison between the unity and the diversity of music. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This comparison between the musical insights of our feeling and of our understanding puts our intellect, and therewith our musical process of knowing, into the state of a self-sufficient eigenfunction. And in terms of this twofold musical cognition of truth, our intellect swings within itself. |
