Richard Wagner's Letters to his Dresden Friends: Theodor Uhlig, Wilhelm Fischer, and Ferdinand Heine: Cambridge Library Collection - Music

Autor Richard Wagner Traducere de J. S. Shedlock
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2014
Richard Wagner (1813–83) grew up in Dresden and served as Kapellmeister to King Frederick Augustus II of Saxony there from 1843 until he was forced to flee the country after the 1849 uprising. His operas Rienzi and Der fliegende Holländer received their first performances at the Dresden Court Theatre. During his time in the city, Wagner became firm friends with the composer and violinist Theodor Uhlig, the stage manager and chorus master Wilhelm Fischer, and the comedian and costume designer Ferdinand Heine. This collection of letters from the composer to his three great friends covers the period 1841–68. First published in 1888, the letters are reissued here in the 1890 English translation by the pianist and Beethoven scholar John South Shedlock (1843–1919). They offer an intimate and compelling insight into Wagner's personal and professional life and his forthright views on many contemporary musicians and public figures.

Notă biografică

Richard Wagner (1813-1833) was a German composer, conductor, and theatre director. Known for his revolutionary concept 'Gesamtkunstwerk', meaning a total work of art, he was one of the only opera composers to write both the music and the libretto for his productions. His most celebrated work is the four-opera cycle 'The Ring of the Nibelung' (1876).
