Scope and content
Lecture on the development of the gap between tones and words, and how Thomas Mann's work is the only one to fully succeed in reconciling the two art forms. Mann incorporates music at three levels: 1. Music as form and construction, 2. Music as theme or symbol, and 3. Music as reality. Investigates these three parameters and how they play out in Mann's work alongside his musical and philosophical influences (Wagner, Schopenhauer). Incomplete or missing pages; final page ends in the middle of a sentence. Edited with annotations and edits to phrasing and structure in pencil. Annotations appear to be commenting on the text. Draft manuscript loosely corresponds to pp. 13–25 of the published lecture.
