Nietzsche's Musical Dissonance in Music

The joy aroused by the tragic myth has the same origin as the joyous sensation of dissonance in music. The de-n-s-ian with its primordial joy experienced even in pain is the common source of music in tragic myth. In this sense, it is precisely the tragic myth that has to convince us that even the ugly and disharmonic are part of an artistic game That the will, an eternal amplitude of its pleasure, plays with itself.
