Accepting the musician as a genius means the concern for outstanding ability of human beings reflects the viewpoint of the emphasis on the artist's individuality, subjectivity, and especially the creativity. In this context, the aesthetics of genius provided the opportunity of establishing the autonomy of arts and the chance of reestablishing the social position of musicians. That is, on the one hand the formation of the concept of genius has a close relation with individual and artistic subjects and on the other hand, is closely related to the development of the Western music. However, does the word "genius" contain just positive meanings? In this thesis, I began with this question and researched the aesthetic meanings of "genius" in the aspect of the artist's subjective identity(subjektive Identität). And I've examined the process and characteristics of the 'identity' in the concept of artist a 'genius' and the relationship between 'genius' and the establishment of the artist's identity in the field of music. In this thesis, I've objectively examined whether the musician could have attained authentic identity as a subject of art as the musician got the recognition of being a genius or not. Then I have thought the internal meanings of representation or the rhetoric of 'artist as a genius'. And I looked on the problems of 'aesthetics of genius' which is so-called 'genius-ideology'. Throughout this process I've critically examined the hidden meanings of 'musical genius' and moreover groped the 'images of genius' which is contemporarily meaningful in the view of these times.

Now is the time when the history of hymns in Korea is on the other side of 100 years, which means that we are in an urgent need to develop genuine Korean hymns using our own national music and tune. Therefore, it is needless to say that we should be interested in composing aboriginal hyumns in the sense of establishing the identity of Korean hymns. The things that we have to study in a way of desired direction in the aspect of the themes and methodology is; 1. to feel the general emotion of Korean people. 2. to characterize the traditional music in Korea on the basis of settlement in the first hand and the modernization afterward. 3. to establish national characteristics and historical consciousness. 4. to compose such hymns that the pulse of the public, containing the spirit of Korea, runs through it. 5. to compose such hymns that the public at large love to sing. Suggesting the various methodological basis above, I believe that such good hymns will be composed in the sense of religious art, a mode of modern living, public universality and musically valuable techniques in the aspect of Koreanization.
