A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Lives of Wagner, but to make an attempt at estimating the work of his practical achievements on the one hand and of his theoretical speculations on the other. It is hoped that the Synthetic Table will not only supply the reader with all the biographical and other details material to the subject, but will present the information in a very easily apprehensible form. The Table will show at a glance the direction of Wagner smusical and speculative activities in any given year, as well as certain contemporaneous events that are of interest in connection with the development of Wagner smind and of music in general. It may be necessary to forewarn readers that no account is taken here of sundry writings that do not bear closely on a general study of Wagner sgenius.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
