Music, according to Wagner, is no longer to be considered merely a means of exciting "the pleasure which we derive from beautiful forms;" it is, instead, the most immediate means possessed by the will for the manifestation of its inner impulses. Far from exercising a determining influence of its own, "the aesthetic form must itself be determined by the artist's inner intuition of the idea." - [Music]
