UNIVERSITY AFFAIR
Ignorance in Excellence
The Classical Composer and Musicologist Peter Hübner to the President of the Justus-Liebig-State University Giessen, Hesse, Germany, Prof. Dr. Stefan Hormuth


“No aim is so high to justify unworthy methods.”
Albert Einstein


Dear Professor Hormuth,

With a certain satisfaction I could originally see that also your rural research and education establishment with the beautiful name of Justus-Liebig-University – named after that famous inventor of chemical fertilizer – shows an intensified interest in my research and development work in the field of the microcosm of music and in this context even commissioned an “Inaugural-Dissertation for Earning a Doctorate in Medicine”, or a doctoral thesis, via your Faculty of Human Medicine with the theme “Review of Effects Of Medical Resonance Therapy Music® after P. Hübner in Patients with Neurodermatitis, Psoriasis vulgaris or Vitiligo”.

“What relates to reality,
is not certain,
and what is certain,
is not real.”
Albert Einstein

After completion and academic examination you published this research work of yours internationally via internet on that significant date of 11-11, the beginning of the year of our European ancestors.
And only in this way – be it by coincidence or by a stroke of good fortune – also I, certainly next to many others, had the opportunity to learn about this “academic” achievement of yours and/or about the content of your work.

Before giving my response I would like to make a few generally uplifting thoughts of Schopenhauer about my work available to you in order to ease you in this way your academic access to the theme a little bit:

“Music expresses the inner being, the world-as-such
in a most general language, namely in mere tones:
but it does this with greatest determination and truth.
The composer reveals
the innermost being of the world
and expresses the deepest wisdom.”

“Just for this reason the effect of music
is so much more mighty and vivid,
than the effect of the other arts:
they only talk about the shadow,
but music about the essence.
Supposed we were successful,
in giving a totally right,
complete and detailed
explanation of music ... ,
then this would be ... the true philosophy.”
Schopenhauer
