Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn't my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I don't really feel, of understanding things I don't understand, being able to do things I'm not able to do...

Particularly if the hypnotist is the first unscrupulous individual who happens to come along? ✨ The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories. Book by Leo Tolstoy, 1890.
