The authoress considers the term master. For some people a master means simply a teacher, and this usage is the most popular one. But those both meanings, though have something in common, are not identical. A master is not chosen by his job position, moreover, this is a pupil who chooses him; a master could be a person who died long time ago, with whom we had no personal contact. A master is the person who knows better, who was able to posses definitely an area of knowledge as well as art and can serve as an example for his adepts. Master, this word makes us think of the word magician, because he is like a magician, initiated in the most mysterious secrets. The authoress stresses that in various times various masters were chosen just by following them. Analysis of these choices brings quite good characteristics of a society and is one of the subject-matters in the contemporary history of culture.

Time and music both impart a certain sense of continuity and succession on our imagination. Moreover, music always begins from a few first notes that activate our inventiveness and make us imagine how the melody will run further on. Similarly our conscious life begins from a few initial presupposition that we can develop and continue in different directions. In both cases the beginnings are of utmost importance. They promise more that life usually permits, introduce a sense of rhythm and order, open new horizons and probe the limits of our liberty. It is also interesting that both time and music are open to retrospective reinterpretations. The actual point of departure is to some extent arbitrary and/or conventionally imposed. The continuation is exposed to a risk of dissonance or a wasted opportunity. But it can also lead to unexpected or undeserved satisfaction. Finally the effect can mean many different things to different people.
