without analytic intention. 1-3

The Musical Art

If a composer lacks a natural mastery
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
7, 8, 15
6, 9, 16
4, 11, 18
5, 10, 17
6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15. 25, 16. 26
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28
11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 18. 33, 19. 34
12.-14. 22, 23, 19.-21. 34, 35
1.-3. 1, 2, 12.-14. 23, 24, 19.-21. 35, 36

over this fundamental power of intuition,
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28

then musical art is not possible.

The musician, who is supposed to simply say
5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18, 15. 25,
16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30

7, 8, 15
5, 10, 17
4, 11, 18
6, 9, 16

becomes an interpreter, a transcriber of truth, who tries to describe infinity from a completely different mental realm, i. e. from his own, finite world – without success, because of his lack of cognitive power. 1-3
