When one studies such things properly, one comes to be able to transfer what would otherwise remain invisible in the movements of the larynx and its neighboring organs to visible movements of the whole human organism, so that one can indeed evoke a kind of mute language through it. Only the organ of expression for this mute language is the whole human being. And so, as you then see the moved person in front of you in human movements that are carried out by the limbs of the person themselves, movements that are carried out by the person in space, movements that come about because people in a group in certain spatial relationships and the like – all this is no more arbitrary than the succession of melodies or the harmony of chords in music is arbitrary. It is music that takes place in space through movement. And if two people or two groups of people in different places were to perform one and the same thing in eurythmy, there would be no more individuality in these different performances than there is between two pianists playing one and the same sonata in their own way. So any arbitrariness in the play of gestures and so on is completely excluded here. What you will still see of this can only be attributed to the imperfections that still cling to our eurythmic art.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"40.

Wenn man solche Dinge sachgemäß studiert, dann kommt man dazu, übertragen zu können dasjenige, was sonst unsichtbar bleibt in den Bewegungen des Kehlkopfs und seiner Nachbarorgane, auf sichtbare Bewegungen des ganzen menschlichen Organismus, sodass man in der Tat dadurch eine Art stummer Sprache hervorrufen kann. Nur ist das Ausdrucksorgan für diese stumme Sprache der ganze Mensch. Und so, wie sie dann den bewegten Menschen vor sich sehen bei menschlichen Bewegungen, die ausgeführt werden durch die Glieder des Menschen selbst, Bewegungen, die ausgeführt werden vom Menschen im Raum, Bewegungen, die dadurch zustande kommen, dass die Menschen in einer Gruppe gegenseitig in gewissen Raumverhältnissen sich bewegen und dergleichen - all das ist so wenig etwas Willkürliches, was Sie hier sehen werden, wie die Melodien-Aufeinanderfolge der Musik oder der Harmonienzusammenklang in der Musik etwas Willkürliches ist. Es ist durchaus eine im Raum durch Bewegung vor sich gehende Musik. Und wenn zwei Menschen oder zwei Menschengruppen an verschiedenen Orten ein und dieselbe Sache eurythmisch darstellen würden, so würde nicht mehr Individuelles sein können in dieser verschiedenen Darstellung, als Individuelles ist bei zwei Klavierspielern, die ein und dieselbe Sonate nach ihrer Auffassung spielen. Also jede Beliebigkeit im Gebärdenspiel und so weiter ist durchaus hier ausgeschlossen. Was Sie davon noch sehen werden, ist lediglich auf die Unvollkommenheit, welche noch anhaftet dieser unserer eurythmischen Kunst, zurückzuführen.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":240,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277b/1920-01-17/p009"}],"english":["GA 277b/1920-01-17/p009"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":240,"en_words":252,"ratio":1.05,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":1667,"original_word_count":1581,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1918–1920","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277b/English/SOL2024/19200117e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
