Overwrought pesudo-religious Germanic romanticism.... Gee, I wonder what authors are like that...

The German Requiem is well-crafted and pleasant enough but it's not very inspired melodically. It's more like background music. So the literary equivalent would be something that's solid and emotionally nourishing but unspectacular. (Perhaps even, dare we say it, a bit dull.)

How about Adam Bede, by George Eliot?

Anyway, if we're doing serious music:

The Divine Comedy's overall emotional progression matches the Mahler 2 pretty well (and the Beethoven 9). You start off in darkness and chaos and then proceed via humour and humanism up to heaven.

There's a not very well known novelist outside of Germany whom Nietzsche liked a lot and belonged to the sentimental Romantics like Brahms and Schumann. His novel was something with word summer in it.

Do you mean Indian Summer by Adalbert Stifter?

SAY NOT THE STRUGGLE

Say not the struggle nought availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.

If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;
it may be, in yon smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field.

For while the tired waves, vainly breaking
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.

And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light,
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward, look, the land is bright.

— Arthur Hugh Clough

NOTHING NOW ASTONISHES

A month of vigilance draws to its close
With silence of snow and the Northern lights
In longed-for wordlessness.

This rainbow spanning our two worlds
Becomes more than a bridge between them:
They fade into geography.

Variegated with the seven colours
We twist them into skeins for hide and seek
In a lovers’ labyrinth.

Can I be astonished at male trembling
Of sea-horizons as you lean towards them?
Nothing now astonishes.

You change, from a running drop of pure gold
On a silver salver, to the white doe
In nut-groves harbouring.

Let me be changed now to an eight-petalled
Scarlet anemone that will never strain
For the circling butterfly.

Rest, my loud heart. Your too exultant flight
Had raised the wing-beat to roar
Drowning seraphic whispers.

— Robert Graves

Yes.

I cannot get into classical. I guess Jung was right about us burgers. I love jazz but hate classical/baroque. I am a nigger.

you need to play an instrument to be into classical music
without appreciation for craftsmanship there's not going to be much there for you on an intellectual level, and the emotional level is too old and foreign to seriously hit home like modern music does

or go see one in person—the visuals of an orchestra in motion are a feast for any writer

Just listen to Beethoven's symphonies, start with the Ode to Joy. Also Tchaikovsky.

These will get you into classical.

I had a look at the wiki for this band and "they" have been going since 1984 but only the vocalist has been with them continuously. "The line-up has changed frequently, often not even playing two consecutive concerts." The "partial list of ex-band-members" has about 200 people in it hahaha.

There must be a short story in this. A long-running rock band from a small country where EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY has been in the band at one time or another.

Can't think of any suitable book, sorry.
