The Concentrated Flow of Creativity

The thinking process
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35

5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 17. 29, 30

a perfect, fundamental musical idea in his mind
1.-3. 2, 3, 12.-14. 22, 23, 19.-21. 34, 35

on the level of the harmony –
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27

like the inner structure of a seed – he creates,
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28

from the level of this pure, utmost condensed cognition, the living tree of his music work, right to its leaves and blossoms,
6. 10, 11, 9. 14, 15, 16. 26, 27
5. 9, 6. 10, 10. 16, 17, 17. 28, 29
5. 6, 7, 10. 18, 19, 17. 30, 31
4. 4, 5, 11. 20, 21, 18. 32, 33

in a lively continuum of thought.
1.-3. 2, 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 23, 18. 33, 19.-21. 34, 35

And with great self-discipline
7, 8, 15

he will ensure that the natural, concentrated flow of his creativity
5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18, 15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30

is not interrupted; otherwise the creation would immediately disintegrate – just as a tree begins to dry up from the very moment its supply of nourishment is cut off.
