Dissonance and Representationalism

Schopenhauer and Nietzsche each conceive Music as a representation--of Will and of the Dionysian, respectively.  Accordingly, Nietzsche's appreciation of Dissonance is as symbolic--of the Tragic human condition.  In contrast, the concept of Dissonance that has been proposed here is non-Representational, i. e. the Aesthetic experience of it has been adequately defined in terms of the inner structure of an Artwork.  Thus, that concept has more in common with the pioneering non-Representationalism of Picasso than with the post-Wagnerian Atonalism, which remains within the Representationalist tradition.
