In this extraordinary book, Ramón Andrés talks with the authors of the past and traces a history of the philosophy of music in a new way in our language. Following the path of Boethius, who spoke of the "consolation of philosophy", the author tells us about the "consolation of music" and offers us a wise and close text thanks to which the reader will discover that writing about music is not only a way to prolong the consolation, but it is a way of preserving our inalienable reserve of freedom.
