Tuesday love

Here are two pieces of music composed by Friedrich Nietzsche. For now, I shall say that I love them insofar as they exist and can be listened to, rather than insofar as they are masterpieces.

The first: "An early Allegretto for piano, on which Nietzsche worked off and on from 1858 until it found its final form during his Leipzig study period. In it, Nietzsche used Beethovenian material, which becomes particularly apparent in the slow passage in the last third, which is reminiscent of the so-called 'Moonlight' sonata. In this recording, you can hear Michael Tannenbaum in a concert at the Evangelical Academy at Hofgeismar, Hessen, which took place there on October 28, 2000" (thanks to Nietzsche and Music).
The recording doesn't sound too good, but we shan't let that bother us.

From the same site, we have another piano piece: Hymnus an die Freundschaft (1874), written for his friend Franz Overbeck. Later he adapted the hymn to be performed with Lou Salomé's poem Prayer to Life.
