歌德本人极好音乐,并对音乐有深刻的见解,他所生活的年代,不仅是现实主义文学与浪漫主义文学融合的年代,也是古典音乐向浪漫派音乐转化的年代。歌德喜好巴洛克音乐和古典派音乐,不接受新兴的浪漫派音乐,其中的原因,很重要的一点是和他的美学观分不开的,因此,从他的音乐观中,也能管窥他的现实主义文艺观。 Goethe has excellent music and profound understanding of music. The era in which he lives is not only the time when the literature of realism and the romantic literature are integrated, but also the time when the classical music transforms into romantic music. Goethe likes baroque music and classical music, does not accept the emerging romance music, the reason, it is very important point and his esthetic view inseparable, therefore, from his music concept, can also have a glimpse of his Realistic literature and art view.
