"The work of art is truly the work of art only when, receiving it, man seems, not only seems, but even rejoices, that he, the man, has produced such a wonderful thing. This is especially important in music. Nowhere is the major importance of art, the significance of union, better seen. The "I" of the artist unites with the "I" of all those who receive it, merging into one.

The work of art is truly the work of art only when, receiving it, man seems, not only seems, but even rejoices, that he, the man, has produced such a wonderful thing. This is especially important in music. Nowhere is the major importance of art, the significance of union, better seen. The "I" of the artist unites with the "I" of all those who receive it, merging into one.
""Opera de artă e cu adevărat opera de artă numai atunci când, receptând-o, omului i se pare, nu doar i se pare, ci chiar se bucură ca el, omul, a produs un lucru atât de minunat. Acest lucru e deosebit de pregnant în muzica. Nicăieri nu se vede mai bine importanța majoră a artei, însemnătatea unirii. „Eul“ artistului se unește cu „eul“ tuturor celor care o receptează, contopindu-se într-unul singur."
