The Hatred of the music

the Hatred of the music is a test of Pascal Quignard published in 1996 with the editions Calmann-Levy. He made continuation, in a final way then, with the Lesson of music writes ten years before: “I am astonished that the men are astonished that those of them which like the most refined music and most complex, which is able to cry by listening to it, are able in same time of ferocity. Art is not the opposite of cruelty… The sideration of hearing gives death… Fascism is related to the loudspeaker…”

The text of Quignard rests on a speed reading (“To hear and obey”) of the analysis Plato ician of the music associated with the Discipline, the Guerre, the social hierarchy, but by forgetting that in the Republic Plato also warns against the other Musique, that which does not lead to obedience but to the Anarchie, with molesse, with the indolence, and whose it is necessary to prohibit the rates/rhythms and the modes in the ideal Cité.
