Dissonante Namen: Die Namen in E.T.A. Hoffmanns Märchen Die Königsbraut

Even after having achieved international fame with his fantastic
stories, the Romantic writer E.T.A. Hoffmann considered himself more as a
musician and composer than as a writer. In his theoretical writings about music,
he extolled the value of dissonances, though he produced them rather more
in his poetic works than in his musical compositions. These dissonances can be
distinctly perceived in the proper names found in his fairy tale The King’s Bride
which, with the exception of the river Main and the personal name Anna/
Ännchen, are all invented by Hoffmann.
