Does one need to know the rules of harmony to be considered a
musician? Throughout A la recherche du temps perdu, and
particularly ' Swann in Love', Proust displays a surprising
sensitivity to the way music is heard, a sensitivity to which we
owe some of the most beautiful writing on music. Through a study of
the texts devoted to the Sonata and Septet of Vinteui, Jean-Jacques
Nattiez demonstrates the fundamental role played by music in the
evolution of the novel. He also shows how Debussy, Wagner and
Beethoven provide the basis for a mystical quest whose goal is pure
music and the literary absolute. Music as model for literature:
this is the subject of Professor Nattiez's essay, which unravels
the various musical themes running through Proust's work, and which
thus constitutes a particularly clear and perceptive introduction
to his writing.
