Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a musical work in the Nietzschean sense of the term. If we ask to what musical form it belongs, Nietzsche himself left open two possibilities: the symphony or the tragic drama. Based on the proposal of The Birth of Tragedy, Gay Science, the posthumous fragments, and his correspondence, this paper is committed to the second of these possibilities. Hence, it’s devoted to show in what sense the Prologue of this work is a totality which contains the seed of the whole work, namely that the Prologue is a musical overture.
