It might be the particular translation I have, but a lot of the German psychology and art terms were retained so I had to constantly use Google to translate. Basically, this is a treatise of how much Wagner hated his contemporaries. He felt other composers were selling out to the opera houses and their demands to sell more tickets. They were knocking out operas too fast with just a few catchy tunes without devoting time to develop each piece in total; music, story and dramatic and vocal performance. Wagner thought a lot of himself and this work was a way for him to rant. ( ) Ópera y drama se divide en tres partes. La primera de ellas, «Ópera y la naturaleza de la música», es un extenso ataque a la ópera contemporánea, con significativos ataques a Rossini y Meyerbeer, a quienes Wagner catalogó como traidores al arte por el reconocimiento público y el sensacionalismo. En esta sección, el compositor hizo su famoso alegato contra los «efectos sin causas» de las óperas de Meyerbeer. La segunda parte, «El teatro y la naturaleza de la poesía dramática» es la consideración más extensa del compositor del papel desempeñado por la poesía en el idealizado drama musical del compositor. La última sección, «Las artes de la poesía y la melodía en el drama del futuro», ofrece una síntesis del drama musical ideal como un todo —un ideal que, sin embargo, Wagner se vio obligado a transgredir para conseguir el éxito en sus últimas obras.

With Richard Wagner, opera reached the apex of German Romanticism. Originally published in 1851, when Wagner was in political exile, Opera and Drama outlines a new, revolutionary type of musical stage work, which would finally materialize as The Ring of the Nibelung. Wagner's music drama, as he called it, aimed at a union of poetry, drama, music, and stagecraft. In a rare book-length study, the composer discusses the enhancement of dramas by operatic treatment and the subjects that make the best dramas. The expected Wagnerian voltage is here: in his thinking about myths such as Oedipus, his theories about operatic goals and musical possibilities, his contempt for musical politics, his exaltation of feeling and fantasy, his reflections about genius, and his recasting of Schopenhauer. This edition includes the full text of volume 2 of William Ashton Ellis's 1893 translation commissioned by the London Wagner Society. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
