"all music must leap out of the wall and shake the listener to his very intestines. Only then can you consider music "effective" Nietzsche thinks this of "recent music"- that it require the listener to swim and float, "surrounding themselves to the elements without reservation" rather than walk and dance. I would be interested to see his take on more modern music- where it fits in terms of walking, swimming, etc.
Great selection. I would like to hear more about your analysis of the distinction between swimming/dancing.
