Już to diabeł musi się nieco na muzyce znać
The Devil Must be Something of an Expert on Music

Summary/Abstract: The author shares his impressions from rereading (after an interval of many years) The Magic Mountain and Doctor Faustus and attempts comparing the two novels and subjecting them to a criticism of sort. The musical motifs of both works are examined in greater detail, and owing to the brief form of his statement the author tries to characterise problems involving music in a very general fashion so as to emphasize the differences in Mann’s music-oriented reflections, which occurred in the time separating the two works.
