In so far as the Self is nature-given and inherent in man, music at its basis is concerned with scientific research:
- for, with his Self the musical creator desires the music on the level of his mind;
- for, with his Self he controls and structures the music on the level of the mind through his intellect;
- for, with his Self he listens to the music through his sense of hearing on the level of the mind.
In so far as the
intellect, the means of gaining knowledge, is naturegiven and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with
scientific research;
In so far as the
sense of hearing is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with
scientific research;
- for, with his sense of hearing the musical creator hears the music on the level of his mind.
In so far as the
mind is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with
scientific research;
- for, with his mind as his original musical instrument, the music creator creates the music.
In so far as the
neurophysiology is nature-given and innate in man, music at its basis is concerned with the field of
scientific research;
- for, with his neurophysiology the music creator perceives the outer, individual effect of his music.
In so far as the environment is nature-given and given to man by fate, even the outer musical performance is concerned with scientific research;
- for, with the help of his environment the music creator perceives the outer social effect of his music
