L. P. - Lost on You

Since there is no directly knowable thing in music, some seek formal beauty in it, while others seek poetic types. Even Schopenhauer, who gave an exhaustive definition of the essence of music and expressed an amazing idea: the Composer reveals the innermost essence of the world and expresses the deepest truth. Using a language beyond the control of the mind, he begins to wander, trying to translate into the language of our concepts the features of a language beyond the control of the mind, similar to the way magnetic the somnambulist talks about things about which, awake, she has no idea. Although it would be clear to the composer that a translation into the language of our concepts, into the language of man, is an abstraction, reduction to the knowable, the loss of the most important thing - the language of the world, which should remain incomprehensible, should only be felt. Ho Schopenhauer is legitimate in his search, his goal as a philosopher is to present the essence of the world, his boundless wealth through concepts beyond which their poverty too easily seen. Wagner is also right, who, wanting to give the average person an idea of ​​what he sees directly as a musician, substituted programs for Beethoven's symphonies. - Arnold Schoenberg
