Abstract

Abstract In Symphonie Pathétique (1935) Klaus Mann takes readers into the heart and soul of the famous composer Tchaikovsky. He makes them understand the hardship Tchaikovsky endured as a queer, European-minded composer in Russia’s musical world in the nineteenth century, which is dominated by national thought. Tapping into the transcendent power of music, Mann counters the national frame by highlighting fertile transnational connections in the life and music of his protagonist. As such, the novel is a critical response to the nationalist Nazi-Germany he fled in 1933.

克劳斯·曼:《生物小说中的音乐与转换艺术》

克劳斯·曼在《pathacimtique交响曲》(1935)中带领读者进入著名作曲家柴可夫斯基的内心和灵魂。他让他们了解柴可夫斯基作为一个古怪的、有欧洲思想的作曲家，在十九世纪被民族思想主导的俄罗斯音乐界所经历的艰辛。利用音乐的超凡力量，曼恩通过突出主人公生活和音乐中丰富的跨国联系来对抗国家框架。因此，这部小说是对他在1933年逃离的民族主义纳粹德国的批判性回应。
