Main Article Content

Abstract

The object of this article is to outline the change in the aesthetic appreciation of music produced during the first romanticism, and that is paradigmatically seen in the different appraisals that enlighteners and romantics had of instrumental music or pure music. Thus the romantic revolution in the field of music is better understood, to which we are still in debt, although at times from the other side of the coin, as it happens with atonal music, but of thesame coin: the appraisal of music for thesake of music. We will see the transition from Enlightenment to romanticism, but stopping at the beginning, in Wackenroder and Tieck.
