Download or read book Wagner Classic Reprint written by Ernest Newman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meistersingers, Wagner Before proceeding to outline the story of Wagner's great humorous Opera, it seems expedient to give the reader some account of the real Mastersingers the artisan poets of Germany, who had a certain affinity with, and yet were entirely different from, the troubadours of France. It is not so long since the craft became extinct. Twelve old Meistersingers held regular meetings in a little inn at Ulm as late as 1830. By 1839 the number had dwindled to four; and the quartet solemnly decided that the society of Mastersingers be disbanded for ever.6 the real meistersingers It is said that the last of these interesting survivals died in 1876.

In writing the text, which was based upon the well-known novel by bulwer-lytton, Wagner himself says: I was simply thinking of an opera-text which would enable me to display the principal forms of Grand Opera, ' such as introductions, finales, choruses, arias, duets, trios, etc., with all possible splendour.

Some readers may feel astonished that while I have passed over a portion of Wagner's ablest and most interesting work in this way, I have discussed at fair length many of his treatises that are of far less intrinsic value. The reason is that these latter, though not finally educational or illuminative in themselves, are factors that cannot be overlooked in the attempt at a veracious diagnosis of Wagner; while such writings as the purely musical ones merely illustrate points in his mental structure that are dealt with in other connec tions. My object has been to study Wagner as a psychological and aesthetic phenomenon; to try to answer the questions ln virtue of what constitution of brain was he so great a musician? And How did his peculiarities of mental structure affect his views of the other arts and of life in general?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Wagner Opera Naturally a scholar and a dreamer, Rienzi would probably never have seen the necessity of such a thing, or ventured to attempt it, had he not seen his own little brother wantonly slain during one of the usual frays between the Orsini and Colonna factions. The murderer, a scion of the Colonna family, considered the mat ter as so trivial that he never even condescended to excuse himself, or to offer any redress to the injured parties, thus filling Rienzi's heart with a bitter hatred against all the patrician race. Secretly and in silence the young enthusiast matured his revolutionary plans, winning many adherents by his irresistible eloquence, and patiently bided his time until a suitable oppor tunity occurred to rally his partisans, openly, defy the all-powerful barons, and restore the old freedom and prosperity to Rome.

For the works of the period of fully conscious creation in a new form Of art a more detailed consideration will be necessary but here also I shall concentrate my attention only on the dramatic poet, and shall attempt to prove that Wagner with his new art-works was able and' forced to wander in new paths, and that he.
