If this inner, subjective sphere

16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30

is not the conscious, natural basis of the composer’s musical thinking,
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35

the musician himself as well as his listener will be barred from the enlivening, rejuvenating effect of music, from the immortal nectar of the divine creative spark,
7, 8, 15
5, 10, 17
4, 11, 18
6, 9, 16

4. 5, 5. 6, 10. 19, 11. 20, 17. 31, 18. 32
