Fyodor Dostoyevsky and music

Abstract

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881), one of the most important novelists of all times, lived with maximum intensity in the Romantic century. Its importance in the evolution of art at the beginning of the twentieth century was determined by its major role in the great currents manifested, outlining a stylistic bridge between the realism of the 19th century and the modernity of the 20th century not only in literary art but also in dramatic and cinematic art, from graphic arts to psychology. His relationship with music is also special in terms of his connection with the musicians of his time, but also with his favorite masterpieces.
