For us, the role of the mu­sic lis­tener and the func­tion of the mu­si­cal crea­tor re­sult in two com­pletely op­posed paths:

As mu­sic lis­ten­ers we re­gard our feel­ing and our un­der­stand­ing as our tools of cog­ni­tion, and in that sense we use them in our proc­ess of our gain­ing knowl­edge in mu­sic.
As mu­sic crea­tors, from the level of pure self-aware­ness, we re­gard the very same tools – which are in full func­tion within us this time – mainly as our tools of form­ing.
Thus, in terms of our po­si­tion as lis­ten­ers and of our stand­point as mu­sic crea­tors, a highly con­tra­dictory per­sonal view of the phe­nome­non of mu­sic re­sults.

As a mu­si­cal crea­tor we per­ceive mu­sic as the unlim­ited, dy­namic field of ab­so­lu­te life, of our own life, but also of cos­mic life in gen­eral, and we con­sider it our in­di­vid­ual achieve­ment to draw from an in­ex­hausti­ble ring­ing well and spray the pure, re­ver­ber­at­ing wa­ters in a myriad of droplets into the world of the lis­ten­ers to enli­ven them.

As mu­sic lis­ten­ers, how­ever, we see the pur­pose of mu­sic quite dif­fer­ently.
In our li­ves we enjoy our­selves skil­fully gath­er­ing those skil­fully effused vi­brat­ing drops and col­lect­ing them into the thirsty mouth of our mu­si­cal know­ing, to enjoy the mar­vel­lous re­freshing spring from the holy well of mu­si­cal truth, and to feast on its pre­cious drink.

Now we real­ize that the ap­par­ent con­tra­dic­tion of these so dif­fer­ent po­si­tions to­wards mu­sic of the mu­si­cal crea­tor and of the mu­sic lis­tener is founded on the prin­ci­ple of give and take.
It ac­counts for the charm of mu­si­cal life, and turns out to be the true mu­si­cal sac­ri­fice.

There­fore, we must as­sume that the clas­si­cal sound art­ist has al­ready reached in him­self the in­te­gra­tion of these two proc­esses, that he ex­peri­ences them si­mul­ta­ne­ously, and that he wants his lis­tener to have this com­plete ex­peri­ence, too.

There­fore, then, can he cre­ate true mu­sic.
