Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and His Works, Vol. 2: The Story of His Life, With Critical Comments Punch, after all, was right in referring to the "music of the future" as "promissory notes." These notes were not to be redeemable in gold till many years later, and Wagner, realizing this, left London precipitately the very next morning after his last concert. From Paris he wrote to Praeger, expressing his delight on having got back to the Continent, and his hope of being able soon to resume composition, "the only enjoyment in life still left to me." He had not forgotten his wife, but succeeded in smuggling some fine laces for her through the Paris custom-house. A week later he writes from Zurich, chiding Praeger in his playful way for not giving him the important London news; to wit: - "You might at least have written to say you were glad to have got rid of me, how sister Leonie fares, and how Henry is, whether Gypsy [Praeger's dog] has made his appearance in society, whether the cat has still its bad cough. Heaven! how many things there are of which I ought to be informed in order to he at ease! As for me, I am still idle. My wife has made me a new dressing-gown, and what is more, wonderfully fine silk trousers for home wear, so that all the work I do is to loll about in this costume, first on one sofa and then on another."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Wagner, Vol. 2: His Life and Works Be that as it may, his enemies found in his previous palinodes, pretext for attacking him; and his enemies were numerous, for his arrival had caused much commotion in Bavaria, so conspicuous from the very first were his extrava gant tastes and his domineering nature. Little did it matter that he had become a Bavarian subject. The Catholics attacked him as an atheist, the autonomists as a foreigner; both attacked him as a revolutionist; people with no particular opinion were indignant at his extravagances which drained the public treasury, and the government employees were dissatisfied at seeing him receive all the surplus receipts which had hitherto gone to them. In short, all opinions and all interests found themselves one fine day leagued against him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner's Life and Works, Vol. 2: Nibelung; Tristan; Mastersingers; Parsifal Wotan, except in the noble scene with Britnnnilde in the finale of The Valkyr, is a bore. He is Wagner's one failure - and Wagner's failure was on as colossal a scale as his successes were. Wotan is the chief of the gods, a race marked out by fate for annihilation. Walking in the shadow of impending destruction he would, one might sup pose, bear himself with a certain tragic dignity. Instead of this, however, he is constantly bemoaning his fate and hence strikes one as contemptible rather than as tragic. Moreover, even if his outbursts of grief were tragic instead of ridiculous and wearisome, we could hardly clothe with god-like dig mity a character who pursues the female sex - divine, semi.

Download or read book Richard Wagner s Zurich written by Chris Walton and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation of the considerable influence of Wagner's stay in Zurich from 1849 to 1858 -- a period often discounted by scholars -- on his career. When the people of Dresden rose up against their king in May 1849, Richard Wagner went from Royal Kapellmeister to republican revolutionary overnight. He gambled everything, but the rebellion failed, and he lost all. Now a wantedman in Germany, he fled to Zurich. Years later, he wrote that the city was "devoid of any public art form" and full of "simple people who knew nothing of my work as an artist." But he lied: Zurich boasted arguably the world's greatest concentration of radical intellectuals and a vibrant music scene. Wagner was accepted with open arms. This book investigates Wagner's affect on the musical life of the city and the city's impact on him. Mathilde Wesendonck emerges not as Wagner's passive muse but as a self-assured woman who exploited gender expectations to her own benefit. In 1858, Wagner had to flee Zurich after again gambling everything -- this time on Mathilde -- and again losing.But it was in Zurich that Wagner wrote his major theoretical works; composed Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, and parts of Siegfried and Tristan und Isolde; first planned Parsifal; held the first festival of his music; and conceived of a theater to stage his own works. If Wagner had been free in 1849 to choose a city in which to seek heightened intellectual stimulation among the like-minded and the similarly gifted, he could have come to nomore perfect place. Chris Walton teaches music history at the Musikhochschule Basel in Switzerland. He is the recipient of the 2010 Max Geilinger Prize honoring exemplary contributions to the literary and cultural relationship between Switzerland and the English-speaking world.
