| Abstract |
On March 25, 1964, Adorno dreamt he had gathered a mob in order to kill a psychotherapist. This psychotherapist was about to give a lecture on Schubert, but first wanted to create some ‘atmosphere’ by singing one of Schubert’s songs in a fashion that the dreaming Adorno deems a Hollywood-like smudging of the difference between this artform and an operetta. Everyone tolerating such barbarity—so Adorno’s dream avatar argues to agitate the audience—would be a barbarian themselves.
