Summary/Abstract: While singing Schubert's songs and trying to get deeper into them, we make sure that doing all this develops a mutual understanding between the human being and subsistence, and stimulates alternative thinking. The songs become an immediate objectivism and a stamp, like the world and ideas, once multiplied, become a world of separate things. Thus, contrary to other composers' works, Schubert's songs are not an objectivism of ideas, but an objectivism of the nature and of the good-natured will of a human. The philosophy of his songs is oriented towards all that unites and stimulates creativity and craftsmanship. The simplicity of Schubert's songs and the beauty of the idea bring inner expedience into the worlds of those who listen to the songs and perform them. Due to their subtle idea and form, the songs provide the listeners or performers with a subtle philosophy. The interpretation of the songs between the self and the other is the most important form (as an interdialogue) of the development of a personality. That is why the impact of music is much more powerful and deeper than that of other kinds of art, Schopenhauer claimed. After all, those kinds of art point only to the shadows, whereas music points directly to the essence.
