Abstract
In contrast to the imperfection of verbal thought, which painfully encounters its own limits, language being insufficient ("If one cannot say a thing, one must be silent about it": Wingenstein), musical thought is constructed exclusively on its; own material, not upon an abstraction lying outside the discipline, but upon the supply of musical tones, infinitely enriched by timbres. It formulates with the greatest possible differentiation and precision. But what does it formulate Music has at least as definite a meaning as words, although it cannot be translated into words (Mendelssohn).
