Eurythmy Address
However, this cannot be used in this way in eurythmic performance at first, because of course you cannot change the robe and veil for every sound. But as I said earlier, if we really penetrate things artistically, we can speak of certain moods, say, with the E, say with the #, and then transfer that not only to lines and stanzas, but to an entire poem. And if we have a feeling for it: this poem is tuned to I, that poem is tuned to E, or let's say, if we have the feeling: In this poem we get a real mood that corresponds to the poem, if we do it with two eurythmic performers in such a way that we characterize an e mood through one of them with the robe and veil, and an i mood through the other, then the mood of the poem can come to the fore through the interaction of these two moods in combination.
