Lux Aeterna is representative of the music Schopenhaur speaks of: it carries its listener into another world, imparting the feelings of stress and tension into its listener's heart. Musical pieces, such as Lux Aeterna, are capable of connecting the self with the other as their audiences are submitted to pure, enrapturing melody. As self and other are no longer divided and willing is forgotten, listeners of music are able to come into contact with the Will and are momentarily relieved from the suffering of a human existence.
