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.
