Anselmo Sanjuán Nájera
Durante el último año de su vida lúcida, Nietzsche recrudece su campaña contra la situación cultural en Alemania y Europa, que él considera profundamente decadente. Como quiera que el movimiento wagneriano le parece la expresión más acabada de aquella decadencia, el filósofo concentra sus ataques contra la música y, muy especialmente, contra la filosofía musical de Wagner. También contra los valores nacionalistas y cristianos que esa música trata de trasmitir. Al objeto de hacer su crítica más incisiva e hiriente, Nietzsche recurre al humor mediante una aguda ironía en forma de chistes, juegos de palabras y acuñaciones terminológicas propias que condensan la virulencia del ataque

These attacks are also directed against the nationalist and Christian values this music tries to transmit. In order to make more incisive and wounding his criticism Nietzsche uses humor by means of a sharp irony and displays jokes, puns and coinages of his own. All this enhances the virulence of his attacks
