And we may add, as elusive for the enchanted mind to hold are these pranks and brilliant parade of tonal sprites. It stands one of the masterpieces of program-music, in equal balance of pure beauty with the graphic plan. Imps they are, these flitting figures, almost insects with a personality. It is all a drama of fairy actors, in a dreamland of softest tone.
Is it not program-music raised to the nth power or rather reduced to the minus nth power? Where is the line to be drawn between the expression of subjective and objective emotion? It is easier to know what each is than when each becomes what it is.
Yet it must be yielded that Liszt's program-music was of the higher kind that dwells in symbols rather than in concrete details. Though not without literal touches, Liszt perceived that his subjects must have a symbolic quality.
"The nearer we get to the mere expression of emotion," says Professor Sturt in his "Philosophy of Art and Personality," "as in the antics of boys who have been promised a holiday, the further we get away from art." On the other hand is not all music, program-music, is not pure music, so called, representative in its essence?
