Therefore, when two people or groups of people in two places perform the same thing in eurythmy, the individual interpretation can only be of significance to the extent that two pianists in different places play the same music. Anything arbitrary, anything pantomime-like or mimic-like is excluded here. Just as music is based on the inner progression of melody or harmony, so here everything is based on the inner laws of movement, which are drawn from human nature itself, in that the movement of one organ – the larynx or its neighboring organs – is transferred to the whole human being and a silent, lawful language takes the place of audible speech.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"41.
