abstract = "In this article, I argue that Nietzsche{\textquoteright}s insertion of the “prelude” Joke, Cunning, and Revenge in The Gay Science is testimony to his attempt to “de-Germanize” and become a “good European” through music and philosophy alike. I consider the rhymes as a libretto or at least a tribute to Italian opera buffa, with which Nietzsche follows Goethe{\textquoteright}s objective to “bring home the Italian way to a German composer.” That, at least, was Goethe{\textquoteright}s aim with his libretto Joke, Cunning, and Revenge (Scherz, List und Rache).",
