Apollo, Dionysus, Nietzsche and Music History Kayleen Asbo

“Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.” "Any musical innovation is full of danger to the whole state, and ought to be prohibited... when modes of music change, the fundamental laws of the state always change with them.“ (Aristotle, The Politics, translated by T. A. Sinclair)

“The Birth of Tragedy presented a view of the Greeks so alien to the spirit of the time and to the ideals of its scholarship that it blighted Nietzsche's entire academic career. It provoked pamphlets and counter-pamphlets attacking him on the grounds of common sense, scholarship and sanity. For a time, Nietzsche, then a professor of classical philology at the University of Basel, had no students in his field. His lectures were sabotaged by German philosophy professors who advised their students not to show up for Nietzsche's courses.” -Marianne Cowan
