Music, according to Hans Urs von Balthasar, can most reach human's emotions. Art reflects our greatness and weakness. In a theologist's opinion it is God, who breathed art into human's souls, it is the greatest gift which man received from God. The role of an artist should be to serve others. On the one hand music tries to find a form of a metaphysical dimension, on the other it expresses things which are low and conceivable. In music, as it is in religion, man becomes touched by what is invisible. Beauty present in the world and in human's works leads to the discovery of God's source.
