Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and His Works, the Story of His Life, Vol. 1: With Critical Comments As regards the plan of this book, I have endeavored to avoid what might be called the chronological-mosaic style of biography, Which consists in presenting the facts in loose connection, in the year and month they occurred in. The arrangement here adopted of present ing the various phases of Wagner's history, activity, and personality in pictures complete in themselves, without neglecting the main chronological divisions, will, I hope, commend itself to the reader. This method is facilitated by the roving life Wagner led - the constant changes of residence from Dresden to Paris, to London, Vienna, Venice, Zurich, Lucerne, etc., Which add so much to the interest of his career. The frequent subdivisions into chapters and sub-chapters make it easy for readers Who care only for the biography, to skip the other parts. But Wagner the man was so thoroughly identified with Wagner the artist, that a complete biography had to include a consideration of his works too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and His Works, the Story of His Life, Vol. 1: With Critical Comments Although only half a century has elapsed since Richard Wagner first became prominent as an operatic composer, it may be safely asserted that more has already been written and printed about him than about any other dramatic author excepting Shakespeare. To add to this collection two more volumes may seem a rash and superfluous proceeding; but if the reader will take the trouble to compare these volumes with other works on the same subject, he will see at a glance that the biographic treasures had been very far from exhausted by my predecessors. There are many short Wagner biographies in the market, written by Tappert, Muncker, Pohl, Nohl, Gasperini, Hueffer, Dannreuther, Kobbe, and others. Several of these are excellent in their way, but they all attempt to present, in from a hundred to two hundred pages, a subject which requires a thousand pages for adequate treatment. The only two elaborate biographies are Glasenapp's and Jullien's. Glasenapp, having been the first in the field, had to do some hard pioneer work, for which he deserves credit. But his treatise exists only in German, and it will probably never be translated, as it is too verbose, and contains too many dry details of merely local interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though his image is tarnished today by unrepentant anti-Semitism, Richard Wagner (1813–1883) was better known in the nineteenth century for his provocative musical eroticism. In this illuminating study of the composer and his works, Laurence Dreyfus shows how Wagner’s obsession with sexuality prefigured the composition of operas such as Tannhäuser, Die Walküre, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal. Daring to represent erotic stimulation, passionate ecstasy, and the torment of sexual desire, Wagner sparked intense reactions from figures like Baudelaire, Clara Schumann, Nietzsche, and Nordau, whose verbal tributes and censures disclose what was transmitted when music represented sex. Wagner himself saw the cultivation of an erotic high style as central to his art, especially after devising an anti-philosophical response to Schopenhauer’s “metaphysics of sexual love.” A reluctant eroticist, Wagner masked his personal compulsion to cross-dress in pink satin and drench himself in rose perfumes while simultaneously incorporating his silk fetish and love of floral scents into his librettos. His affection for dominant females and surprising regard for homosexual love likewise enable some striking portraits in his operas. In the end, Wagner’s achievement was to have fashioned an oeuvre which explored his sexual yearnings as much as it conveyed—as never before—how music could act on erotic impulse.
