33. Eurythmy Performance

In singing, we have the attempt of man to shape the tones in the same way: that one actually leaves the sound unconsidered, that that which makes language into language is completely taken out of language itself and that only the tone figures in it. So here we are dealing with a withdrawal of the human being from the actual sound. This is what makes singing a possible companion to music, which is precisely an outwardly unformed, an outwardly ideal-spiritual, spiritual formation, as is also the basis of singing.
