Friedrich Nietzsche regarded himself as the most musical
philosopher - he played the piano, wrote his own compositions and
espoused a philosophy encouraging all to dance for joy. Central to
his life and his ideas were the music and personality of Richard
Wagner, whom he both loved and loathed at different times of his
life. Nietzsche had considerable influence on contemporary
composers, many of whom employed Wagnerian sonorities set to his
words (although he had by then broken with Wagner, advocating Bizet
instead). This book explores Nietzsche's relationship with Wagner,
the influence of his writings on the music of Strauss, Mahler,
Delius, Scriabin, Busoni and others, his place in Thomas Mann's
critique of German Romantic music in the novel Doctor Faustus and
his impact on 20th-century popular music.
