In music, again, what you see on stage in a moving person or group of people is not a dance, but real, visible singing. Just as one forms the tone in singing, forms the tonal context in singing, so what the soul experiences in forming the tone can be expressed not only through this tone formation, but also through movement. And so, alongside eurythmy, there is a very different form of eurythmy, which in turn accompanies musical instruments and is not a dance, but a truly visible song.
