Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner as Man and Artist It is in keeping with the whole character of the man that he Should have left us more copious documentary material concerning himself than any other artist has ever done. Publicity was as much a necessity to him as food and air. The most interesting person in the universe to him was always himself and he took good care that the world Should not suffer from any lack of know ledge oi a phenomenon which he rightly held to be unique. It would be a Sign of unwisdom to despise him for this. It has to be recognised that whatever criticism the contemporary moralist might have to pass upon this or that portion of Wagner's conduct with the outer world, he was always the soul of purity and stead fastness in the pursuit of his ideal. He believed he had come into the world to do a great and indispensable work and if he occasion ally sacrificed others to his ideal, it must be admitted that he never hesitated to sacrifice himself. Regarded purely as an artist, no man has ever kept his conscience more free from stain. And it is precisely this ever-present burning sense of the inherent greatness of his mission that accounts primarily for his constant pouring-out of himself, not only in music - his musical output.

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.

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 Richard Wagner His Life and His Dramas: A Biographical Study of the Man and an Explanation, His Much musical experience has been gained since this book was published in 1901. The excursion of Par sifal into the world, begun at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1903, has extended through several lands. Familiarity with the great lyric dramas has become a common possession of music lovers. An entire genera tion of opera patrons, fed, from infancy on Wagnerian' music, has reached maturity. The ancient battle for acceptance of the art work of the future is almost forgotten. A few white-haired opera goers and the members of fashionable society, who have always been hostile to every serious art aiming at something other than their entertainment, continue to complain when the name of Wagner appears in the programs. The broad world of art, letters and music and the circles of polite culture are, as usual, deaf to their murmurings. Wagner is performed as a matter of course.

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. All that is necessary is that he should know what the Operas are about. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Richard Wagner, Vol. 5 It would be agreeable to me to be able to contribute as much toward recommendation of the proposed Quartet performances as I have already succeeded in doing toward instigation of the enterprise itself. If I can attain that end by promising a continuance of my personal advice as to choice and artistic rendering of the masterworks to be performed, I do not hesitate to give the public that pledge herewith, just as the artists themselves have already received it from me at their wish.
