The speaker of this passage is not asserted. This passage speaks ABOUT Rudolf Steiner in the third person, so it is most likely a report, minutes, or an editorial summary rather than his own words. Verbatim, but confirm the speaker before attributing anything here to him.
Record: listeners' notes. This text is a newspaper's or a listener's report of the lecture, not a transcript. The wording is the reporter's: do not quote it as Steiner's own words. Evidence: «Lory Maier-Smits, from: “The First Seeds of Eurythmy”». The unit's own header line in the edition served.

Only these three sounds and only in this form did Rudolf Steiner give that evening in Munich. So still no arm movements, and yet these three different orientations in space gave rise to an urgent desire, no, an impulse, to release the arms and hands from this column in order to express the experience even more clearly and in a more differentiated way. In addition, Rudolf Steiner had added, one must try to experience the sounds in color.
