Volume IV - Part 3

Fragment ID: 15156

The conscious parts have to be prepared first – impossible to deal successfully with the subconscient till then, except in points and details. Just as the musician has first to learn the right principle and execution of his music with his mind and vital (aesthetic) perception and will – and teach his fingers to execute it – afterwards the subconscient in his fingers will learn its work and do the right thing of itself – e.g. touching the right keys without his eyes having to follow.
