Beyond Reason relates Wagner's works to the philosophical and
cultural ideas of his time, centering on the four music dramas he
created in the second half of his career: Der Ring des Nibelungen,
Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg, and Parsifal.
Karol Berger seeks to penetrate the "secret" of large-scale form in
Wagner's music dramas and to answer those critics, most prominently
Nietzsche, who condemned Wagner for his putative inability to weld
small expressive gestures into larger wholes. Organized by
individual opera, this is essential reading for both musicologists
and Wagner experts.
