<div>In the book itself, Mozart doesn t play but he s listening the radio with Steppenwolf ( at the end of the book in 'the magical theatre' ),</div>
<div>I agree with you about Hesse and 'creativity' ...I think he's a pro Nietzschean way of perception (specially during the first half of the book ) :P but the second half specially the end make me wonder about it( Nietzschean) because things go imho "alright" (happy end instead of a melancholic end).</div>
<div>in two words : the steppenwolf is not anymore steppenwolf but learn to smile at things instead to be pissed off about it ...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don t know 'The Glass Bead Game' maybe a day I will read it ( thanks for the advice) </div>
<div>I guess when I will finish the notes from the 'Eternal return' of Nietzsche, I will go to read the swedish guy called "Strindberg''</div>

the part that Mozart plays. I've refreshed my memory a bit. What I got from the<br>book is Hesse's complete involvement with creativity as a force; he is like a<br>wise doctor. His choice of metaphors is astonishing. I'd have to read it again<br>
to remember more than that. I see the book as conveying an attitude of thinking;<br>a movement away from the complexity/indulgence Steppenwolf-like people dream up<br>for themselves, and more into open-minded action. I think all artists are<br>
Steppenwolf-like people.<br><br>"The Glass Bead Game" is another book that mysteriously plays with music and<br>art. It is brilliant and strange; more like the music he talks about than his<br>other books, which are more like "books".<br>
