[Andrei Tamaş · Rating 1 out of 5]

O incercare esuata de a face o filosofie muzicala pe tema geniului lui Beethoven. Se proiecteaza un nationalism extrem -"spiritul german"- si o imagine mult disproportionata (pozitiv) a lui Beetoven. Wagner nu e scriitor!

[Víctor · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un compositor genial (Wagner) escribiendo sobre otro compositor genial y fundamental (Beethoven). Este es el principal aliciente de este breve ensayo. La lectura se hace incómoda por momentos debido al estilo ampuloso y la intención abarcadora del texto, que analiza la obra de Beethoven desde un punto de vista filosófico y estético. Destacaría la poética descricipón del cuarteto nº 14, un pasaje espléndido.
