52 THE NATURE OF MUSIC 



a sequence of effects and causes, each cause being the 

 effect of a previous cause. I have proved, and will 

 adduce further proof, that melody is the composite of 

 rhythm and harmony. This is nothing new to music- 

 feeling where melody always has been a composite, 

 but it is new to theory and, owing to its discovery of 

 harmony in one voice, completely changes the point of 

 view of theory. 



Knowledge is evolution of perception. Truth per- 

 sistently knocks at the door of consciousness, sure of 

 being admitted sooner or later to enrich the store of 

 knowledge and experience.
