I believe I have thus characterized in a few words what eurythmy actually aims to achieve. Anyone who really wants to understand art cannot do so unless they enjoy art. But then they enjoy everything artistic. And we must say: with such people, we will meet with understanding when we attempt to expand art and the means of art. Only those who do not really have an artistic attitude towards art will raise objections to a new art form in view of what they are accustomed to through the old arts. But anyone who really pays attention to what a genuinely artistic human being feels towards art will not raise such objections.
