"Cosima, the ugly duckling illegitimate daughter of the composer Franz Listz, first married the great conductor Hans von Bulow, but twelve years later she left him to join Richard wagner, a man 24 years older (and several inches shorter) than she was. Thus began a tempestuous partnership, in which the unpredictable, infuriating genius of Wagner was protected and nutured by the scheming, devious, passionate Cosima, whose devotion to Watner reached monumental proportions and allowed no obstacle to stand in the way. The awfulness of Cosima's behaviour, concealed behind a stern Victorian facade, is at times almost funny. Her celebrated diaries stop with Wagner's death, and it is only since the release of her letters, to whic the author has had access, that the equally extraordinary story of her 47 years without Wagner can fully be told." from the jacket flap.

Mit einer privaten Widmung auf der Titelseite. Wenn es je eine dramatische Liebesgeschichte gab, dann die zwischen Cosima und Richard Wagner. 1853 lernt die sechzehnjährige Cosima Liszt bei ihrem Vater den 24 Jahre älteren Richard Wagner kennen. 1857 heiratet sie den Dirigenten Hans von Bülow, einen Freund und Verehrer Richard Wagners. Die Hochzeitsreise geht zu Wagner nach Zürich, der Bülows musikalischen Zuspruch braucht. 1863 beginnen Cosima und Richard ihre Liebesaffäre, aus der nach sieben Jahren der Schwierigkeiten und Turbulenzen im Jahr 1870 eine außergewöhnlich glückliche Ehe wird. 1883 stirbt Richard Wagner. Cosima überlebt ihn um 47 Jahre und wird zur eifersüchtigen Verwalterin seines Werks und der von ihm geschaffenen Bayreuther Festspiele, über die sie mit harter Hand herrscht. . . From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: George Richard Marek (13 July 1902 7 January 1987) was an Austrian-born American music executive and author of biographies of classical composers. Marek was born in Vienna, then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the son of dentist Martin Marek and Emily Weisberger. From 1918, Marek studied at the University of Vienna until he emigrated to the United States in 1920, where he became a citizen in 1925. He married Muriel Heppner the following year; the couple had one son, editor, publisher, and author Richard Marek. Marek's first job in the US was as a stock boy in the ostrich-feather department of a milliner, but he soon became involved in advertising. From 1930 until 1950, he was vice president of the J. D. Tarcher Agency. In 1950 Marek unsuccessfully attempted to gain RCA Victor's advertising account for Tarcher; instead, he was offered the position of manager of artists and repertory at RCA Victor. Seven years later he became vice president and general manager of RCA Victor; he remained in that position until 1972. When he grew up in Vienna, Marek had regularly visited the Vienna State Opera; after his arrival in New York City, he became a devoted standee at the old Metropolitan Opera House. Marek was the music editor of Good Housekeeping from 1941 until 1957 and a co-founder of the Reader's Digest Record Club. He was for many years a panel member on the radio broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera Quiz. Marek introduced some pronounced changes in the marketing of classical music at RCA Victor. Record jackets became more colorful and classical records were sold in drugstores and supermarkets. He was responsible for the best selling album Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music in 1953. Marek was instrumental in promoting the recordings of pianists Gary Graffman and Arthur Rubinstein and conductors Pierre Monteux, Fritz Reiner, and Arturo Toscanini. Marek continued in retirement as a consultant to RCA and the Reader's Digest Record Club. He died at the age of 84 at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City; he was survived by his wife and their son, and two brothers, Carl and Frederick, both of Manhattan, and a sister, Anneliese Fish, of White Plains. Some of his books have been translated into other languages. Marek also wrote magazine articles, e.g. for Harper's Bazaar, and liner notes; he was nominated for the 1977 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes for Beethoven: The Five Piano Concertos, with Daniel Barenboim conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Arthur Rubinstein playing the piano.

Cosima Francesca Gaetana Wagner, née de Flavigny, from 1844 born as Cosima Liszt; (24 December 1837 - 1 April 1930) was the daughter of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. She was first married to pianist and conductor Hans von Bülow, but became famous as the second wife of the German composer Richard Wagner and, after his death, as director of the Bayreuth Festival for 31 years. Despite Wagner's death in 1883 the Bayreuth Festival nevertheless continued in the summer of 1883 with 12 performances of Parsifal, given by the same artists and assistants who had worked with the composer on the 1882 premiere; but with no overall authoritative figure in charge, problems arose. In 1884 Cosima emerged from her self-imposed seclusion to direct rehearsals; at first simply by means of written notes despatched to the artists. Despite many objections to her supposed lack of qualifications for the task, she continued to govern the festivals for the next 23 years and she undoubtedly saved Wagner's vision from fading into obscurity. Cosima directed the Bayreuth Festival until 1906, when following an Adams-Stokes attack, she retired for health reasons. During her regime a total of 15 festivals took place. In addition to revivals of Parsifal, she gradually introduced the other nine operas which make up what has become known as the Bayreuth canon and increased the total number of performances each year to 20. During her tenure, she insisted that the staging of the 1876 premiere performances of the Ring Cycle be strictly adhered to. Her son, Siegfried, carried on this rigid "Bayreuth style" until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, when the Festival stopped operating. When the Festival re-opened in 1924, it continued under the direction of Siegfried. This copy is in FINE condition in a NEAR FINE unclipped dustwrapper that is lightly sunned to the spine. Ref J7.
