The Magic Flute
Details
This Magic Flute wants to be a humble tribute to all the lyrical companies that traveled the roads of the world, with love.
Mozart, like authentic art, does not need to be understood to reach our soul. Sublime by the beauty of goodness —ineffable matter of dreams, from the smallest note— Mozart's humble greatness manifests itself causing us absolute abstraction, oblivion: the embellishment of Schopenhauer, implicit transcendental foundation of beauty.
Transcendence is a virtue. Virtue is the disposition that a being has to act ideally in life. And, if a human being has enjoyed this prerogative in the long, heavy and tortuous speech of history - which is a human prerogative - this being has been W. A. Mozart, and the purest example, his Magic Flute.
