The philosophy of music has its basis in the music lover – in his personal love for music. Since music is able to describe the
subjective and the
objective reality, it is able to express truth.
Therefore, it is actually man’s love of truth that makes music so attractive to him, because the language of music, and with it the musical
description of truth through the musical artist – but also the musical
gaining knowledge by the listener – is much more complete than any other consideration of reality in common human language, not to speak of actually gaining knowledge through our
colloquial language.
Because of the power of its expression the musical description of the reality of our life appeals to our
feeling much more than common speech, and moreover, because of the complexity of its flow of information, the language of music is able to satisfy the
understanding in its search for truth much more profoundly than the spoken word.
Moreover, the process of
abstraction of any mental-spiritual impressions, as well as the process of making them
concrete, can be mastered systematically and completely through the means of music.
Therefore, a great art of gaining inner and
outer knowledge lies hidden in music.
