There are 2 kinds of musical novels.The first type is characterized by a certain fluidity and musicality at the level of expression and the author succeds in writing such a novel almost unintentionally.
In the interbelium period when many authors experimented with form, the musicality of the novel was theorized and it appeared numerous programatic writings.
An example is Aldous Huxley and his well-known "Point.Counterpoint" or Andre Gide whose fictitious novelist from "Les Faux-Monnayeurs", Edouard, confesses that in the architecture of his narration inspired himself from Bach's "Art of Fugue".(Romanian literature has also its examples).
The musical technique applied to literature has to do with the polyphonic novel where every character is the bearer of a certain theme which is heard every time it enters the scene...
But my words sound like some kind of lecture and I won't continue in this way. I'll conclude by saying that many authors based their writings on music.
What do you say if we'll approach Beethoven's and Tolstoi's "Kreutzer Sonata"?
