About the book >.>.> Wagner: A Documentary Study offers an in-depth exploration of the life and works of composer Richard Wagner, focusing on his visionary approach to music and dramatic art. This comprehensive study delves into Wagner's significant relationship with the Flying Dutchman legend, which played a pivotal role in the development of his grand concepts, particularly realised during the first Bayreuth Festival in 1876. The book reveals Wagner's artistry through previously unpublished materials, including contemporary illustrations and documents that illuminate his creative processes and the reactions of his contemporaries.The authors, Herbert Barth, Egon Voss, and Dietrich Mack, provide rich context to Wagner's experiences, detailing his tumultuous career from his early days as a conductor in provincial theatres to his roles in political upheaval, such as the Dresden uprising of 1849, which led to his exile. The text also reflects on Wagner's complex personal relationships, notably his marriage to actress Minna Planer and his affairs with Mathilde Wesendonck and Cosima von Bülow, the latter eventually becoming his second wife. The portrayal of Wagner demonstrates how his magnetic personality aroused both devotion and disdain, ensuring his status as a controversial figure in music history.This documentary study also integrates Wagner's writings on music, society, and politics, alongside responses from family, friends, critics, and officials, facilitating a multifaceted understanding of his life and artistic legacy. With scholarly insights and a wealth of primary source material, Wagner: A Documentary Study serves as an essential resource for those interested in the intricate interplay between the man and his monumental contributions to operatic literature.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition maroon linen boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Table of Contents is as follows: Author's Note; Preface by Pierre Boulez; Wagner's Autobiographical Sketch; The Plates; Sources of Illustrations; Documents; Extracts from Cosima's Diaries; Abbreviations of Documentary Sources; Chronological Table: Dates of Composition and First Performance of the Principal Operatic Works and Index. Profusely illustrated with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates plus many additional black-and-white photographs interspersed throughout the volume. Translated by P.R.J. Ford and Mary Whittall. A vintage Christmas gift inscription is neatly scripted on the half title page. "Richard Wagner, visionary, even revolutionary, composer, was the quintessential romantic artist of the most romantic of centuries. His operas and music dramas combined myth and legend with passionate musical motifs. The four operas of the Ring cycle and Parsifal, Die Meistersinger, and Tannhauser won him admirers in his own day while today the devotion to his music and the facts and legends of his colorful life characterize the "Wagnerian." Published in time to celebrate the Bayreuth centenary, this sumptuous book truly befits its subject. Wagner's own librettos, his instructions on the proper staging of his operas, his autobiographical sketch, and his grandiloquent appeal to the German nation for contributions to establish a Wagner festival in Bayreuth - all these offer an unparalleled view of one of the most gifted composers - and one of the most singular and complex personalities - of all time. Wagner was at the center of nineteenth-century creative activity in Paris, Vienna, Dresden, Munich, and Bayreuth. Readers will be captivated by letters he exchanged with friends like Hector Berlioz, Charles Gounod, Friedrich Nietzsche, Heinrich Heine, and Auguste Renoir (who painted one of his many portraits). His extraordinary friendship with the young King of Bavaria, Ludwig II, had remarkable political and personal overtones; the documents from that friendship as well as Wagner's political manifestos make fascinating reading. As his love letters reveal, women adored him, including Franz Liszt's daughter, Cosima, who became his second wife. From these documents (some previously unpublished) as well as from the writings of family, lesser known friends, musicians, and critics, a realistic portrait of the composer emerges. Moreover, the splendid illustrations enable one to "see" the man and his family and associates, the concert halls and costumes of his day, and his homes, including Villa Wahnfried. Here is a unique book which will long be treasured by all who love Wagner's music." - from the inner front jacket flap.…
