This is the first truly interdisciplinary collection devoted to the
legacy of Richard Wagner to merge insights from Musicology and
Music Theory with explorations of the composer's vast
socio-cultural impact from such fields as History, German, and
Disability Studies. The wide ranging topics include Glenn Gould's
piano transcriptions, the value of naming musical themes in the
music dramas, the status of Wagner in Israel, and the assignment of
"Jewish" characteristics in both Wagner's music and polemics and,
in recent years, to his descendant, musicologist Gottfried Wagner.
Contributors include Robert Gauldin, Warren Darcy, Marc Weiner, and
Paul Rose.
Please note this is a 'Palgrave to Order' title (PTO). Stock of
this book requires shipment from an overseas supplier. It will be
delivered to you within 12 weeks. A central concern of this study
is the relationship between Wagner the artist and Wagner the social
phenomenon. Many of the essays within explore the most difficult
yet most crucial issue in Wagner studies: the impact of the
composer's problematic world view and complex personal life on his
musical/dramatic creations.
