| Summary: | Conceived as “sageness of music”, “Musicosophia” is a concept of the reputed philosopher of music George Balan. In this essay, we stress the plural significance of this notion: a philosophical term upon music art, which is considered in its ultimate valences of educating the spirit of human being; no less, a musicological term that makes the listener to the music to becoming a real “third creator” of this art. We try to emphasize “musicosophia” as grounding the status and the peculiar position of the listener during the musical communication, by motivating its importance as a decisive factor in the existence and the cultural-social function of music art. At the same time, we are interested about the musical-educational dimension of this concept, with its particular principles and methods guiding toward the making of an active, awared, scrutinizing, and reflective music audition, allowing a deep receiving of the artistic message and a spiritual appropriating of the art of harmonious sounds. Eventually, we stop around the activity of the International Institute “Musicosophia”, of Sankt Peter, Germany.
