Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and the Reform of the Opera Wagner's activity as a theorist and critic was a mere passing phase after his magnum opus, Oper und all later contributions to literature, though of considerable importance, are but hors d'aeuvrcs. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner and the Reform of the Opera This little essay illustrating some of Wagner's tendencies and theories, made its first appearance in 1872 as a series of articles in the Musical Record. In the following year, Messrs. Augener having acquired the copyright, it was issued as a pamphlet. Long out of print, it is now re-issued with the more important sections slightly expanded at the expense of some superfluous matter. The biographical data given in the sixth section have been augmented upon the original lines; but those interested in such things are recommended to refer to the more complete details to be found in the article on Wagner by the author in Grove's Dictionary of Music, and particularly in Mr. W. Ashton Ellis's biography now in course of publication. Mr. Ellis's fine book is based on Glasenapp's "Life," of which it is a translation considerably expanded.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of Richard Wagner's Ring Des Nibelungen Several years before his demise came the noted reform by Gluck. There is no evidence that Gluck wrote a single German Opera, but this was chiefly the fault of existing conditions. What could a man of his stamp do with such libretti as those that have just been referred to? He held the stringent views upon the relation of text and music which the Florentine Camar ata had promulgated before him, hence it was natural that he should look about for the very best texts. Of these he found none worthy of consideration at the beginning of his career, and in later life, in a foreign country and engaged with foreign pro ductions, he felt the impossibility of writing a German opera. Though be seriously thought of putting Klopstock's Hermans schlacht to music, he was never fortunate enough to have a close acquaintance with the great literary men Of his time and country, though these were in sympathy with his reform. Wie land1 writes: At last we have lived to see the time when the mighty genius of Gluck has undertaken the great task of musical reform. The success of his 'orpheus' would justify the greatest hopes were there no insurmountable difficulties to defeat his best intentions even in those European cities where the fine arts own the foremost temples. It is a great and courageous undertaking to elevate these arts to their original dignity and honor, which the rabble is wont to look upon as a means for sensuality, and to establish nature upon that throne which for so long a time has been usurped by the capricious power of custom, luxury and wanton sensuality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American History and Encyclopedia of Music Opera, Vol. 1: With Introduction Aim of opera writers, they now had to shuffle off some of the fprmularies which had grown up in the service of musical beauty and stood in the way of the truthful dramatic expression, and thus we reach the age of reform, of which Gluck and Wagner are the shining lights. These men regenerators of the old quite as much as they were reformers of contemporaneous art - opened the way to the absolute freedom exercised by the composers of today, and give at least some measure of justification to the methods of the latest revolutionary, Richard Strauss, in whose Salome, music surrenders all its functions as an independent art, and becomes a mere adjunct of the drama; a part of the scene, an emotional voice in the service of the ugly as well as of the beautiful, realistic and delineative.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wagner Stories: Retold From the Music-Dramas Of initiation is generally made far too-formidable. The unfortunate novice is plied with information about leading motives and musical characteriza tion till he goes to the Opera like a nervous schoolboy trying to remember his lesson, and has his mind so concentrated on details that the work as a whole too Often produces no intelligible effect upon him. I would like to assure the amateur who is as yet unacquainted with these masterpieces that all this semi-masonic mystery Of initiation is quite unnecessary.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... Ill THE DRAMAS OF THE PERIOD BEFORE 1848 "To comprehend my intention became ever more clearly the principal object I had in view." Richard Wagner. IF we now look back, from this point of view, on the works which were composed before 1848, we shall find that we have gained quite a new comprehension of them. We shall then be able to pass on them a critical judgment which has nothing in common with the usual praise and blame, but one whose every assertion signifies some true insight. The reader, I trust, will by this time have realised the justification of what was said at the beginning, namely, that "Wagner only made use of opera because he needed a musical and scenic apparatus for the realisation of his dramatic intentions and thought that opera would afford him this." It is by no means my object to quarrel with words, and I repeat, that I do not deny that Wagner had the 46 express intention of writing operas; but it is impossible for us to come to a proper appreciation of the works of the first period, both for themselves, as well as for the role they play in Wagner's development, if we do not realise the fact that in their innermost being they are distinct from everything which we generally understand by opera. A clear appreciation of this fact is the first and most important realisation with regard to these works of the first period. From what has been said so far, this fact may already have been apprehended, but in the following I hope to be able to transform this apprehension into the fullest conviction, in order to show at the same time how we should use this realisation in order to arrive at a true comprehension. In the first work, " The Fairies," we already find the purely-human motive of Redemption through Love as foundation and...
