For long during this night's walk I had reflected upon the significance of my relation to music, and not for the first time recognized this appealing and fatal relation as the destiny of the entire German spirit.
Gaueko ibilera horretan luzaro jardun nuen pentsatzen musikarekiko nire lotura bitxiaz, eta behin eta berriro musikarekiko lotura hunkigarri bezain fatal hau, Alemaniako intelektualitate guztiaren zori bezala somatu nuen.
