Tenth muse
Tenth Muse is a term for cabaret invented by its own protagonists at the beginning of the twentieth century and also used today .
Under the title The Tenth Muse , the novelist Maximilian Bern published an anthology with the subtitle Dicht vom Brettl und fürs Brettl . His publisher wrote in an introductory text for the second, improved edition: “His peculiar, delightful collection, now appearing in a new, improved edition, offers around 500 mostly cheerful, often high-spirited poems by over 200 authors that adhere to the pedantically strict principles of the old nine Muses do not want to agree and therefore claim a new protective goddess, the tenth muse. "
The self-deprecating term refers to the mythological muses , especially the nine Greek goddesses of the arts. The tenth muse is part of the so-called cabaret and partly overlaps in meaning with the term light muse used for the entertaining part of the performing arts and music .
