The song of the sirens is an essay by Eugenio Trías that explores the relationship between music and knowledge. Through a journey that spans from Monteverdi to the musical avant-garde, Trías analyzes the works of composers such as Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Wagner, Mahler, Schönberg, Bartók, Stravinski, Cage and Xenakis, revealing their internal keys and their place in the history of ideas. This book offers a unique perspective on music as a form of gnosis and a story of the evolution of Western thought through music.
Eugenio Trías Sagnier was a Spanish philosopher. Critics have likened his work to Ortega y Gasset in the philosophical literature written in Spanish.
