Record: listeners' notes. Written from listeners' notes, summaries, or memory rather than a shorthand transcript. The wording is the note-taker's as much as Steiner's: weigh a single striking phrase here far more cautiously than the same phrase in a stenographic volume, and do not rest an argument on one word. Evidence: «Nach zum Teil bruchstückhaften Mitschriften» (From transcripts that are in part fragmentary). The publisher's description of the volume, as mirrored on AnthroWiki (GA 246), which also speaks of "fragmentarischen Hörernotizen und Vortragszusammenfassungen". The translation is the maintainer's, not a published one.
You know, [Jupiter] makes a certain movement in world space; [Saturn] moves more slowly. The true ratios are like this: [Jupiter] moves two and a half times faster than [Saturn]; when Saturn stands out from the starry sky, which continues to move, Saturn moves 1200 times faster than it. The motion of Jupiter to Mars is like five to one. Mars compared with [...], Venus, Mercury: Ratio [of about three and eight] to [one]. This is how one can indicate the tone ratios in the great world harmony.
