Thus,
the harmony radiates as the one great soul of the composition throughout
the entire musical work.
This universal soul manifests in the multiplicity of the individual souls,
in the forms of sequence and motifs; but harmony is also manifest in the
inanimate world of music, the musical sound-space.
Harmony itself has infinitely many aspects which are expressed in the unbounded diversity of the motifs, the melodies, and the sequences. Yet, all these different features and forms are but the colourful expression of the one harmony playing with itself, within itself – according to its own powerful laws.
The knowledge of these laws of musical unfoldment lies between the inner hearing and the inner cognizing in an area of the mind, which integrates hearing and cognizing.
From within the harmony, all the laws of music aspire to their application through the harmony-technique. The harmony- technique also symbolizes the aspiration of all the laws of music to express themselves in the world of music.
Thus, the harmony-technique joins the beauty and power of the harmony, resting within themselves, with the sounding world of enlivened music, and expresses this truth in its purest form on the level of the sequence.
After a long journey through the different levels of the composition the harmony eventually reaches the immediate proximity of the musical sound-space where it expresses itself in the power and beauty of the song of the melody.
