Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner Opera Stories Stories hold the same relative position in the development of children that liter ature does in the life of the adult. They give to the child a broader glimpse of life than his own little world can afford him. They bring to him richer and more varied experiences than it is possible for him to pass through personally. In the right kind of stories are made possible all those splendid might be's which like giants battle down the prison walls of fear and give to the soul the courage to bring to light its fair ideals and beautiful dreams and thus change life from dull prose to glorious poetry.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonder Tales From Wagner: Told for Young People Richard wagner, in constructing his music dramas, found his materials in the legends of all lands. The source, or more correctly the sources, of The Flying Dutchman essentially a sea-myth are to be traced to many countries. Tannhauser, the mediaeval tale of which has been recorded in poetry, and thus handed down to us from the past, is distinctly German. So, too, is Lohengrin, though the story of Cupid and Psyche, from which Wagner obtained part of the plot of this opera, is Greek. Tristan and Isolde is Celtic; and The Mastersingers has an historical foundation, and is peopled with real, not legendary, personages. It is my purpose to show, as simply as I can, the origin of the stories incorporated in the Master's works.

In early youth he produced works for the concert room and the stage, some of which met with a fair degree of success (various overtures, a symphony in c major, As he developed, and his destination for the lyric stage became apparent, he felt the theatre, as it then existed, to be insufficient for his purposes, and so, almost in spite of himself, he became a critic and theorist.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Wagner's Prose Works, Vol. 2: Opera and Drama By this time the literary longing was approaching a tangible shape, for on Sept. 20, 1850, Wagner writes again to Uhlig, and again after a reference to Sz'egfnied I am thinking of doing some literary work this autumn and winter. All generalities in art are, for the moment, repugnant to me no one understands them until his nose is driven into particulars. Now my particular work would be music, and, above all, opera. In any case, I will shortly send you rather a long article on modern opera, - about Rossini and Meyerbeer. This we may take to be the first unmis takable shadowing forth of Oper and Drama, although the title and magnitude of the eventual book are not yet within clear range of vision. Another point in this letter is the allusion in the very next sentence, already quoted in my preface to Volume i, to the receipt of a letter from Feuerbach, apparently accompanied by all that author's philosophical treatises.

Richard Wagner. - 0n May 13, 1813, in a mod est home at the old university town of Leipzig, Saxony, Richard Wilhelm Wagner was born. In the palace of the French Bourbons, at Venice, Italy, on February 13, 1883, he closed his weary eyes. A life of incessant struggle was then ended; a life, however, crowned by success sublime. On a new field - new at least to some extent - the Teutonic race under his leadership proved its supremacy. Ignored at first, attacked later on, he triumphantly overcame all obstacles, which fate, malice, and stupidity threw in his way. His great capacity for work, his untiring energy, his remarkable individuality, gained for him the admiration of the civilized world, the love of his friends, and the respect of his enemies.
