James H. Donelan describes how two poets, a philosopher and a
composer - Hoelderlin, Wordsworth, Hegel and Beethoven - developed
an idea of self-consciousness based on music at the turn of the
nineteenth century. This idea became an enduring cultural belief:
the understanding of music as an ideal representation of the
autonomous creative mind. Against a background of political and
cultural upheaval, these four major figures - all born in 1770 -
developed this idea in both metaphorical and actual musical
structures, thereby establishing both the theory and the practice
of asserting self-identity in music. Beethoven still carries the
image of the heroic composer today; this book describes how it
originated in both his music and in how others responded to him.
Bringing together the fields of philosophy, musicology, and
literary criticism, Donelan shows how this development emerged from
the complex changes in European cultural life taking place between
1795 and 1831.
