In a letter to Peter Huebner:
“For
many years I have been playing your composition ‘The Song of Life’ to my students,
a significant example of that, and how harmonical fundamentals derived by
nature can be used as a basis for composition today.
My
‘Fundamental Harmonical Research’ is part of the music therapy course and
of the curriculum in 5 departments (faculties at the University of Music in
Vienna, which with around 3000 students and 400 lecturers, is the largest
in the world.
I
am particularly interested in your ‘Music and Health’ project… actually the
objective of my career at the University of Music in Vienna focused on providing
a scientific basis for the music therapy education introduced in Vienna… You
will now have a better understanding of why I am interested in your project:
the possi-bility of a co-operation with my institute exists. In any event,
I can at only provide encouragement for your project and would be delighted
to see it supported from as many angles as possible.
Given my 25 years experience, I can really encourage you to realise similar efforts … in your planned music faculty and would be happy to provide any advice in this respect.”
