Abstract: As one of the most important representatives of the late German romanticism, the early literary creation of E.T.A. Hoffmann almost all be concerned with music, which is actually the embodiment of the romantic poetics principles in his works. Ritter Gluck is his first literary work, a turn of the writers from pure music reviews to the integration of musical ideas into literary creation. It is also an attempt to elaborate artistic problems by narrative techniques. A syncretism of all kinds of art in form and content is one of the programs of the early romanticism in Germany. Although Hoffman incorporated the realistic elements, he still inherited this poetic program and practiced it from the three dimensions of intertextuality, synaesthesia and romantic irony, forming a unique creative style.
