The Identification of

Force-Fields
Musical- Compositional Phase Transitions
Space and Time: Ruling the Infinity of Music Together
But also when a tone identifies with a motif, or a motif with a sequence, the feeling of the space-time fusion dominates our musical awareness, and we experience a genuine mental-spiritual enlivenment.
These are musical-compositional phase transitions, by which a state of suspension is generated in the world of feeling, in the world of understanding, and between the worlds of feeling and understanding. Here, opposing forces cancel each other out; here, the meaning of “opposing” is suspended; here, the manifold pairs of opposites create an image of multiplicity on the level of unity; here, on the level of our feeling and understanding, we experience complete silence again and again. Re-emerging from this deep silence we are permeated by the life-giving source of complete musical-creative fulfilment.
In
music, time is the great partner of space.
Time and space are so intimately connected with each other that they always
appear together.
In the classical composition the unity of time and space lives as the playful
togetherness of two natures made for each other, who together govern infinity
with great competence.
