"We should never make a god out of form. We should struggle for form only as long as it serves as a means of expression for the inner sound. Therefore we should not look for salvation in one form only.

This statement must be understood correctly. For each artist his means of expression ( = form) is the best, since it embodies best what he is compelled to reveal. From this principle people often draw the wrong conclusion: that this means of expression is or should be the best for other artists as well.

Since form is only an expression of content, and content is different with different artists, it is clear that there may be many different forms at the same time that are equally good."
