"Without music, life would be an error"--Friedrich Nietzsche
In his youth, Friedrich Nietzsche yearned to become a great
composer and wrote many pieces of music. He later claimed to be
"the most musical of all philosophers." Yet most books on Nietzsche
fail to explore the importance of music for his thought.
"Nietzsche and Music" provides the first in-depth examination of
the fundamental significance of music for Nietzsche's life and
work. Nietzsche's views on music are essential for understanding
his philosophy as a whole. Part biography and part critical
examination, Georges Liebert brilliantly demonstrates that despite
failed attempts at a professional career as composer, Nietzsche
never fully removed himself from the world of music, but instead,
became a composer of philosophy, utilizing the musical form as a
template for his own writings and creative thought. Liebert's study
surveys Nietzsche's opinions about particular composers and
compositions, as well as his more theoretical writings on music and
its relation to the other arts. He also explores Nietzsche's
listening habits, his playing and style of composition, and his
many contacts in the musical world, including his controversial and
contentious relationship with Richard Wagner. For Nietzsche, music
gave access to a realm of wisdom that transcended thought. Music
was Nietzsche's great solace; in his last years, it was his refuge
from madness.
A virtuoso exploration of this little-known but crucial aspect of
Nietzsche's life and work, this volume will be of enormous value to
scholars of philosophy, music, aesthetics, and literature.
