Synopsis

Wolf has been regarded as a composer who followed the style and aesthetics of Wagnerian music drama without question, while writing in a genre often seen as less challenging than the symphony or opera. This 1999 book re-examines the evidence concerning Wolf's responses to Wagner and Wagnerism and suggests ways in which he voiced his criticism through song, and his one completed opera Der Corregidor. This opens up insights into the kind of impact Wagner had on those following in his wake, and into the complexity and subtlety of the late nineteenth-century Lied. From this perspective, Wolf emerges as a persuasive and articulate figure of wide musical and artistic significance.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'... Glauert's illustrative and analytical detail is always subordinate to the energy and clarity of her argument. And that argument itself is truly deductive: it leaps out from an honest, keen-eared study of Wolf's music, rather than imposing a wilful agenda on it.' Hilary Finch, BBC Music
