This does not yet create eurythmy itself; but what can be set aside for those sounds or sound sequences as a necessity of the inner lawfulness of human nature, what can be formed as a visible language, can also be transformed in a purely artistic sense. And as such a transformation, it confronts us here in such a way that either the musical is accompanied by such movements – which can then also sing through sensually visible sounds, just as one can sing through the larynx – or one can accompany the poetry when it is recited or declaimed.
