Follow the pathway of this knotwork with your finger by going two steps forward and one step back, starting your circular action clockwise at one o’clock The motion first starts at F# at one o’clock, then goes down to B# at 4 o’clock, then back up under D# to A at 3 o’clock. Then, tie the four Lydian knots into a single One: [F#, B#, A], [D#, B#, F#], [D#, A, F#], [B#, A, D#]. The One tone that is not there, but which you can hear coming into your mind from the future, is the key of C# Minor, which is the One that provides the unity of Beethoven’s composition; that is, the sudden One over the Many.
