The Essence of Tonality

The Essence of Tonality
An attempt to view musical subjects in the light of spiritual science
by
Hermann Beckh
This essay is written for those who have not only a general understanding or interest in music, but also a feeling for the keys and their individual, differentiated colourings, and who can experience them inwardly. It is written for musicians and music-lovers who, because of their particular musicality experience something spiritual, and for spiritual seekers and sensitive people who, because of their particular spirituality, have experienced a connection with music.  The facts and connections indicated here are in themselves not really new.  Through the method of observation attempted here, they might be viewed in a new light.  This short work does not claim to have exhausted the subject. It would hope to stimulate the thoughtful reader to further work on these inner considerations and questions.
