Description

" «Beethoven [...], la esencia más íntima de la música [...] la verdadera encarnación del músico». " Beethoven es, junto con Ópera y drama, la obra que contiene las aportaciones más significativas de Richard Wagner a la estética musical. Wagner lo escribe para conmemorar el centenario del nacimiento de Ludwig van Beethoven, en un contexto histórico de exaltación nacional. La presente edición cuenta con un estudio introductorio que analiza el trasfondo filosófico de este ensayo: la clara influencia de la obra principal de A. Schopenhauer, El mundo como voluntad y representación, y la amistad del músico con F. Nietzsche, quien, durante el Idilio de Tribschen, leyó y revisó el Beethoven. Esto lo convierte en una joya que atrae no solo a melómanos y musicólogos, sino también a los interesados en la filosofía.
