There are other reasons too. Hanslick strongly influenced many works
of musical aesthetics in the XX century: Brelet, Schloezer, etc. Even
Strawinsky's "Poetique musicale" --though not directly related to
Hanslick-- is not far from the general lines of  "Von Musikalisch Schonen".

It's curious. I find Adorno much more unreadable than Hanslick....
