  The Latent Music in Nietzsche's Zarathustra

  Friedrich Nietzsche said of his controversial book Thus Spake Zarathustra that it would be possible to consider it all as a musical composition. It was influenced by music, and was in turn the inspiration for composers

  Ryan Smith traces the musical connections in Zarathustra. There's Wagner portrayed as a sorcerer with delusions of grandeur; and the idea of the Superman replacing God, which Strauss took up in his music (RNZ)
