“My most beautiful melodies have come to me in dreams. I practically composed this entire concerto in a semi-trance state
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35
in which, however, I was always conscious.
4. 11. 18.-21.
4. 11. 18.-21.

The composer while creating any work of
lasting value

6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33
stands face to face with this Eternal Energy
4. 11. 18.
5. 10. 17.
7. 8. 15.
6. 9. 16.
from which all life flows, and he draws on that infinite power.
5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30

The composer must sit in silence
4. 11. 18.
and wait for the direction from a force
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
that is superior to the understanding.
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30

If he knows how to contact that power,
4.-7. 5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16,
15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28

he becomes the projector of the infinite invisible
4. 11. 18.-21.
into visibility, or rather into audibility,
in the composer’s case.
5-14
5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18,
15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35
4. 5, 5. 6, 10. 19, 11. 20, 17. 31, 18. 32

In my opinion, the great composer is not so much the reflection of God,
4. 11. 18.
5. 10. 17.
as has been claimed,

but rather the expression of God,
on this earth plane.

7. 8. 15.
6. 9. 16.

In proportion as he grasps this profound truth
6.-9. 11. 15.-21.
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25,
16.
26, 17. 29, 30

will he reveal
7. 12, 8. 13, 15. 25
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25,
16.
26, 27, 17. 28

to the visible, audible world
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35
4. 5, 5. 6, 10. 19, 11. 20, 17. 31, 18. 32

the Divinity within him.”
15.-21.
7. 8. 15.
5. 10. 17.
4. 11. 18.
6. 9. 16.
