Saitama City Philharmonic Orchestra, 4th Concert

When art left the shackles of court and church, it had to find new and different values to overcome "religious and metaphysical images of the world," but in the realm of music, it had to wait until Beethoven's Heiligenstadt Testament (1802), in which he declared the establishment of music as an art form. In the realm of music, however, one had to wait until Beethoven's Heiligenstadt Testament (1802) to declare the establishment of music as an art. This was, according to Nietzsche, a frustratingly slow pace of progress, given the speed of the literary and pictorial movements that had begun on the eve of the French Revolution (1789) with Goethe at the helm. The collapse of conventional values forced society to construct a new communal ethic. The narratives that were referred to were the tragedies of ancient Greece, Aristotle's Poetics, German idealism and romanticism such as Schelling, Hölderlin, and Hegel, and Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, which were reconstructed through the death of God. On the other hand, in the realm of music, this trend, according to early Nietzsche, led through Bach and Beethoven to Wagner, who, out of opposition to Wagner and his enthusiastic supporters, the Wagnerians, who embodied the title music mainly in their operas, eliminated lyrics and stage directions that led to emotion and created purely harmonic The emergence of musical aesthetics, which rejects emotion-driven lyrics and stage directions in favor of purely autonomous musical values such as chords and melody, has pulled music in a materialistic direction, creating a tragedy in which the time gap caused by the "frustratingly slow progress" has led to a sterile 20th-century ideological debate. In this context, when trying to understand Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a work of musical precision, it is easy to understand why, despite the fact that many composers were in fact inspired by the title "Fate," it is not common in Europe to title a prototype of absolute music "Fate. This is why I understand why I hear the commentary, "The title 'Destiny' is not common in Europe as a prototype of absolute music. In the current situation, where there are signs of a shift in values since the French Revolution, there is a possibility that we will be called upon to discuss the construction of a new communal ethic, and we, the lazy people of today, who may allow AI to take on that role, hope that this concert will provide an opportunity to feel the scars of the anguish and struggle of our ancestors who achieved new value creation at the time. We hope that this concert will be an opportunity for us to feel the pain and struggle of our predecessors who achieved new value creation at that time.
