In  The Mysterious Correspondent: New Stories , two manuscript fragments, under the title “After Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony,” highlight Marcel Proust’s exploration of the possibility of deep spiritual communication between individuals. In each fragment, the qualities of the human voice and symphonic music are compared, underscoring the extent to which the emotional and aesthetic effects of sound depend on milieu and medium. The limitations of conversation as a means of achieving spiritual intimacy contrast dramatically with the potential of music to engender more profound human connections. This juxtaposition of voice and music gives readers a glimpse of Proust’s early efforts to transpose into words the seemingly ineffable qualities of music.
