El canto de las sirenas: Argumentos musicales is a masterpiece by Eugenio Trías, offering the reader a modern coming-of-age novel of an autobiographical nature. In the summer of 1936, in a Portugal divided by the Spanish Civil War, a young poet confronts the glorious mysteries of Bach, the duality of the tragic and the comic in Mozart, the great stories of Haydn, the heroic style of Beethoven, the concept of total work in Wagner, the creative spirit of Mahler, the new musical theology of Schönberg, the eternal night of Béla Bartok, the sacrifices of Stravinsky, the sonorous pantheism in Cage, or the musical architecture of Xenakis. The result is a thrilling history of ideas through music.
Eugenio Trías Sagnier was a Spanish philosopher. Critics have likened his work to Ortega y Gasset in the philosophical literature written in Spanish.
