The present study wil l take this step through a comparative analysis of poetic and musical elements in selected works by Berlin composers. A consideration of the aesthetic temperament of mid-eighteenth century Berlin must begin with a brief look at the rationalist philosophy of art in the seventeenth century and, in particular, at early analogies made between the arts of poetry and music. Critics in the "age of reason", with their humanistic desire to catalogue knowledge, began a systematic enquiry into the fine arts. They concluded that art, like a l l branches of knowledge, must have logic and be reducible to a system of investigation that yielded results, in the same way a mathematical equation, seen as the most perfect symbol of man's understanding, may be solved.10 The emphasis on reason as the basis for artistic evaluation led to the establishment of a hierarchy of art founded on a medium's ability to express concrete ideas and actions. Poetry, which could instruct man about human nature and moral values as well as delight him through an order and regularity of form, was considered the highest of arts; pure music was relegated to the most inferior position by the dictates of reason because i t "presents the symbols [of reality] as pure abstraction not bound by any concrete content."11 Although i t was conceded that something was being said, musical tones in themselves had no definitive power. Expression in music appealed more to the senses than to the intellect, and because the main precept for artistic assessment was clarity of meaning, i t could not compete with verbal art. Music, throughout the seventeenth century, remained subordinate to and was measured by the criteria of its superior. 6 The i n c l i n a t i o n t o c o d i f y p r i n c i p l e s o f the a r t s l e d many t h e o r i s t s t o s eek c o r r e s p o n d e n c e s between the e l e m e n t s , f o r m , and e f f e c t o f the d i f f e r e n t a r t f o r m s .

He v i e w e d e p i c p o e t r y , t r a g e d y , 9 comedy, l y r i c poetry and music as modes of i m i t a t i o n , meaning representations of the r e a l i t i e s i n l i f e . The verbal a r t s , of course, could t e l l the l i s t e n e r what was being imitated and thus i n s t r u c t . But even music without words was accorded a high status through i t s sympathetic r e l a t i o n s h i p with movements of the soul. In h i s Politics, A r i s t o t l e states that i n the rhythms and tunes of music there " i s a close resemblence to r e a l i t y - - t h e r e a l i t i e s of anger and gentleness, also of courage and moderation, and of the opposite of these, indeed of a l l the moral q u a l i t i e s ; and the f a c t that music does indeed cause an emotional change i n us, i s an i n d i c a t i o n of this."20 The l i s t e n e r not only f e e l s the e f f e c t s of musical rhythm and melody but i s also able to associate himself with c e r t a i n conditions of character-- that i s , be aware of the nature of the i m i t a t i o n . I t was t h i s q u a l i t y that allowed 17th and 18th century t h e o r i s t s to place music i n the same category as verbal a r t . They saw that the f i n a l purpose of the arts were i d e n t i c a l and therefore the methods of expression could be linked. As Bronson s u c c i n c t l y states: "Fundamental agreement as to the ends gives r i s e to analogous conventions among the means."21 On the whole, analogies between poetry and music i n the l a t e Renaissance and e a r l y Baroque periods grew out of the mutual dependence on r h e t o r i c a l concepts, and were concerned with methods of achieving a decorative expression through ornamental tropes and f i g u r e s . A more s p e c i f i c correspondence between the s t r u c t u r a l and s t y l i s t i c elements of both arts was considered only s p o r a d i c a l l y throughout the seventeenth century and only i n terms of the musical s e t t i n g of verse.

Theorists concluded that a l l a r t i s t s work with s p e c i f i c topics ( i . e . , emotions to be imitated), and that no matter i n what medium these subjects of i m i t a t i o n are presented and interpreted, each has prominent c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s and associations that remain constant. Therefore s i m i l a r i f not i d e n t i c a l p r i n c i p l e s of design and elaboration that embody these c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s apply to a l l forms of a r t i s t i c expression. In 1757 the court poet Ramler tra n s l a t e d a t r e a t i s e by Charles Batteaux, Les beaux-arts reduits a un meme principe (1746) that e f f e c t i v e l y dealt with t h i s concept. In t h i s h i g h l y i n f l u e n t i a l work, the author stresses the sing l e p r i n c i p l e of the i m i t a t i o n of beauty i n nature as the basis of a l l a r t , and delineated the rules by which he perceived the arts to be formulated:1 In the arts there are stringent r u l e s , c l e a r boundaries that may not be transgressed. Everything i s c a l c u l a t e d i ) by measure, which controls the duration of each sound and gesture; i i ) by movement, which speeds up or slows down t h i s same measure whilst i n no way a l t e r i n g the number of sounds or gestures, or changing t h e i r q u a l i t y ; i i i ) by melody, which unites these sounds or gestures into a successive whole; iv) and f i n a l l y - by harmony, which controls consonance when several l i n e s combine into one. Batteaux's "rules", of course, applied most c l e a r l y to those arts 23 whose t h e m a t i c s t a t e m e n t and deve lopment move t h r o u g h t i m e , n a m e l y , p o e t r y , m u s i c and d a n c i n g .

The extreme b r e v i t y of thematic content which characterizes both music and poems further underlines s t y l i s t i c p a r a l l e l s . In Gleim's works, there i s nothing superfluous i n word choice and arrangement. The poet conveys h i s message i n the most concise, straightforward manner possible, e s p e c i a l l y i n Der Wille, where the subject-verb-predicate structure i s i r r e d u c i b l e , the f i r s t person "Ich" being the sole subjective condition (except f o r the l a s t couplet) and the various actions r e l a t i n g to "Ich" stated as s u c c i n c t l y as possible with no a d j e c t i v a l modifiers. Even i n Anakreon the a c t i v i t i e s of "mein Lehrer" are presented with v i r t u a l l y no embellishment.
