Download or read book Bayreuth 1876 1896 written by Felix Weingartner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bayreuth (1876-1896) Twenty years had passed before it was found possible to repeat Richard Wagner's "Ring des Nibelungen" in the theatre which had been specially designed for that purpose. The "Teutonic Spirit" upon which Wagner had relied when projecting and carrying out his gigantic work had played him false. It might have been thought that national enthusiasm, fertilized by the hope of a unique production of a commanding genius, would have born fruit, but the necessary financial support which had been expected was not forthcoming, and Wagner, persecuted by malice and scepticism, would have had to renounce the hope of seeing any representations that came up to his ideal, had not King Louis, of immortal memory, nobly come forward to his help. It would be carrying coals to Newcastle to speak here of the importance of the "Nibelungen" representations that at last took place in 1876. Wagner was however forced to abandon the repetition of the performances planned for the following year, because of the want of general interest and sympathy. For six years he kept his intentions to himself and did not reveal them to the world, till the time came to produce a new work, the purest and loftiest he ever wrote, and once more both performers and spectators were united at Bayreuth. The voice of calumny was silenced before the sublime beauty of "Parsifal," and the universal and unreserved enthusiasm with which it was received, as compared with the reception given to his former works, inspired the hope that the festivals rested on a firm basis, and that Wagner could now carry out his plans without further let or hindrance.

As an excuse for their presentation in a collected form, it may be urged that, at this distance of time, no other English writer is likely to follow the example of the German, French, and Italian critics by offering to his countrymen a permanent record of an interesting artistic event. Conscious of his ability to deal with the great theme only in an inadequate manner, the author would gladly have surrendered it to any one of the able colleagues who were with him at Bayreuth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner In accordance with the general aim of the series, this book aims in the first place at being useful; that is, it is intended rather as a guide and a help to the plain man than a full critical study of Wagner. And since we have so little opera in this country, and the plain man hears most of his Wagner in the concert-room, an attempt has been made to render what he hears there more comprehensible to him. In telling the stories of the operas, for example, an eye has been had to the concert-goer who is likely to hear no more than detached fragments from them, which fragments, however, only tell half their story to him if he is ignorant of the opera as a whole. In selecting the musical quotations the same purpose has been kept in view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Letters of Richard Wagner to Emil Heckel written by Wm Ashton Ellis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Richard Wagner to Emil Heckel: With a Brief History of the Bayreuth Festivals Rundschau my father last year jotted down his reminiscences of Richard Wagner. Shortly afterwards Frau Wagner gave her most gracious consent to the publication of all the master's letters to my father. The next step, therefore, obviously was to publish both reminiscences and letters in one and the same volume. I undertook their combination. In order to weld the two into one whole, a complete remodelling of the reminiscences was unavoidable. Their subjective character has been preserved, however, even where it was tinged with a certain polemical colour from the days of war. As to Wagner's letters themselves, in very few cases has it been requisite to make omissions. These are scrupulously indicated in the text. Since, according to Bismarck's epigram, the publication of private letters almost always sets their author in his shirt-sleeves on the balcony, many a circumstantial explanation of minor points has become necessary, not to give spiteful neighbours too many opportunities for misconstruction. The reproducing of such details undoubtedly thrusts the narrator more into the foreground than he himself could wish y'et, in a book of memoirs, that danger is not easy to avoid.
