"Vom Musikalisch-Schönen" by Eduard Hanslick is a philosophical treatise on the aesthetics of music, originally published in the mid-19th century. The work critiques the prevailing emotional interpretations of music and advocates for an appreciation of music’s inherent beauty, separate from emotional expression. Through a rigorous examination, Hanslick seeks to clarify the nature of musical art and its appreciation beyond mere emotional elicitation. The opening of the book introduces Hanslick's central argument against the conventional view that music is primarily about conveying emotions or feeling. He argues that such viewpoints limit the understanding of music's true essence. Rather than focusing on how music expresses feelings, he contends that it should be understood through its formal qualities and aesthetic appeal. The discussion points to the complexity of emotions in relation to music, indicating that feelings arise from music's structure rather than being its primary content. Thus, the initial exploration sets the tone for a comprehensive inquiry into the unique characteristics of musical beauty, emphasizing a need for a more objective approach to music appreciation.
