Richard Wagner - Friedrich Nietzsche - Bog - STAUER PUBLISHING - Plusbog.dk

Richard Wagner - Friedrich Nietzsche - Bog - STAUER PUBLISHING - Plusbog.dk

Bogen indeholder den første samlede danske udgivelse af Friedrich Nietzsches tre essays om Richard Wagner, oversat af Jacob Jonia.Nietzsche mødte første gang Wagner ved en middag den 17. maj 1869 i sidstnævntes villa på en halvø ved Vierwaldstättersees vestbred i Tribschen, der er forstad til Luzern i Schweiz, hvor Wagner opholdt sig i årene 1866-1872. I de følgende tre år, inden Wagner flytter til Bayreuth i forbindelse med påbegyndelsen af arbejdet med opførelsen af sit festspilhus, besøgte Nietzsche ham og Cosima Wagner treogtyve gange. Nietzsches første besøg hos Wagner blev en livlig og interessant aften hvor han både fik talt med Wagner om deres fælles interesse for Schopenhauer og hans hovedværk ”Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung” og oplevede Wagner folde sig ud da han gengav udvalgte passager fra ”Mestersangerne”.Nietzsche anså Wagner for sit livs største velgører, og især operaen ”Tristan und Isolde” betog ham. Han anså denne opera for at være Wagnes højdepunkt som komponist, og at han senere blot ”forfriskede” sig med værker som ”Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg” og ”Der Ring des Nibelungen”. Nietzsche bryder med Wagner, da han modtager teksten til ”Parsifal”. Nietzsche mener, at Wagner med denne opera ophøjer de kristne kyskhedsidealer. Nu var Wagner ikke længere en visionær komponist, men – mente Nietzsche – kun en tyder og forklarer af en fortid.Bogen – der er illustreret – er redigeret og kommenteret af forfatter og filosof, mag.art. Jens Staubrand.

Religion and Art - Richard Wagner - Bog - University of Nebraska Press - Plusbog.dk

Religion and Art - Richard Wagner - Bog - University of Nebraska Press - Plusbog.dk

" One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion ." With these words Richard Wagner began "Religion and Art" (1880), one of his most passionate essays. That passion made Wagner himself a central icon in the growing cult of art. Wagner felt that he lived in an age of spiritual crisis. "It can but rouse our apprehension, to see the progress of the art-of-war departing from the springs of moral force, and turning more and more to the mechanical," he wrote. In response to the frightening progress of dynamite and steel, Wagner adopted the role of the Tone Poet Seer, who reveals the inexpressible in concert halls and cleanses souls in waves of symhonic revelation. "Religion and Art" is the pivot of the works collected here. Also included are his defining essays "Public and Popularity" and "The Public in Time and Space"; his papers relating to the creation of the Bayreuth School; his complaint against publishers, "On Poetry and Composition" (1879); his article on the first production of Parsifal (1882); and other works that speak his mind about strengthening the spirit through music. These works participated in the duel between Wagner and Nietzsche that ensued after the breakup of their friendship in 1878. Nietzsche publicly called Wagner an incurable romantic, emphasizing how sick he thought both Wagner and his art were. Here Wagner counterattacks with arch innuendo and sarcasm. This edition includes the complete volume 6 of the 1897 translation of Wagner''s works commissioned by the London Wagner Society.

Richard Wagner and His World - - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Richard Wagner and His World - - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) aimed to be more than just a composer. He set out to redefine opera as a "total work of art" combining the highest aspirations of drama, poetry, the symphony, the visual arts, even religion and philosophy. Equally celebrated and vilified in his own time, Wagner continues to provoke debate today regarding his political legacy as well as his music and aesthetic theories. Wagner and His World examines his works in their intellectual and cultural contexts. Seven original essays investigate such topics as music drama in light of rituals of naming in the composer''s works and the politics of genre; the role of leitmotif in Wagner''s reception; the urge for extinction in Tristan und Isolde as psychology and symbol; Wagner as his own stage director; his conflicted relationship with pianist-composer Franz Liszt; the anti-French satire Eine Kapitulation in the context of the Franco-Prussian War; and responses of Jewish writers and musicians to Wagner''s anti-Semitism. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Karol Berger, Leon Botstein, Lydia Goehr, Kenneth Hamilton, Katherine Syer, and Christian Thorau. This book also includes translations of essays, reviews, and memoirs by champions and detractors of Wagner; glimpses into his domestic sphere in Tribschen and Bayreuth; and all of Wagner''s program notes to his own works. Introductions and annotations are provided by the editor and David Breckbill, Mary A. Cicora, James Deaville, Annegret Fauser, Steven Huebner, David Trippett, and Nicholas Vazsonyi.

The Complete Operas Of Richard Wagner - Charles Osborne - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Operas Of Richard Wagner - Charles Osborne - Bog - Hachette Books - Plusbog.dk

Wagner''s operas can be counted among the most important works of art of the nineteenth century. But Wagner was a composer around whom violent artistic, political, and literary controversies raged during his lifetime. Even today, Wagner''s music seems to arouse either adulation or antipathy. In The Complete Operas of Richard Wagner, as in the first four volumes of his famous series on the great opera composers, Charles Osborne first describes the composer''s life at the time he wrote each opera, thus providing a biographical thread which runs through the book; follows it with a thorough examination of the libretto and its sources; and lastly tells the story of the opera, which he links to the major musical features.This book is, in effect, a musical biography of Wagner, tracing his development from his first complete opera, Die Feen, to his last, Parsifal. It serves as an invaluable guide to the often perplexing Wagner oeuvre both for the regular opera-goer and the armchair listener.

Jay Hawk 79 - Jim Wagner - Bog - Pen & Sword Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Jay Hawk 79 - Jim Wagner - Bog - Pen & Sword Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

At the start of 1967, Jim Wagner shipped out to Vietnam. As a UH-1D Huey crew chief and door gunner, Wagner was part of the 9th Aviation Battalion that would ferry infantry of the 9th Infantry Division into and out of combat in III Corps Tactical Zone in the Mekong Delta in South Vietnam. Interdicting the movements of Viet Cong kept Wagner and his unit in near constant combat with the author accumulating over 1800 air hours on combat operations. Day to day, Wagner flew direct support, combat assault, medical Evac, or low level aerial recon missions for platoon or company sized elements of the 9th Division. Wagner experienced it all, from the surreal of flying over Nancy Sinatra at a USO concert to secret missions flying special forces across the border into Cambodia to the Tet Offensive.

Maud Stevens Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Maud Stevens Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The true story of Maud Wagner—contortionist, aerial artist, carnival performer and barker, wife, and mother—who defied Victorian-era conventions to blaze her own trail. Maud Stevens Wagner, the "Mona Lisa of American tattoo," was an ardent individualist who left home at a young age to pursue a career of her own making. An acrobat, she exuded an athletic strength as an aerial artist and contortionist. In the early 20th century, she was a thoroughly modern woman who asserted her independence and her own identity. Together with her husband, Gus (known as the “most artistically marked-up man in America"), Maud balanced parenting and work, traveling around the country as the Wagner’s Traveling Museum, exhibiting themselves and making tattoos in circus and carnival sideshows, dime museums, and pop-up shops. At the height of their careers, Maud and Gus established the Wagner Amusement Company and expanded their work to become promoters of street fairs, carnivals, and expositions. This book is the second of three in the series Last of the Hand Tattoo Artists, detailing the lives of Gus Wagner, Maud Wagner, and their daughter, Lotteva. Author Alan Govenar brings you Maud’s story with • an oral history from Maud’s daughter Lotteva Wagner Davis; • archival photos of Maud, Gus, and Maud''s tattoos; • clippings and photographs from Gus Wagner’s scrapbooks; • the Wagners'' tattoo flash from Gus Wagner''s notebooks; and • newspaper articles and obituaries detailing Maud’s life. As the author eloquently puts it, “In one sense, Gus and Maud challenged all expectations, but in another, they embodied and celebrated the can-do spirit intrinsic to American life.”

The Wagner Operas - Ernest Newman - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

In this classic guide, the foremost Wagner expert of our century discusses ten of Wagner''s most beloved operas, illuminates their key themes and the myths and literary sources behind the librettos, and demonstrates how the composer''s style changed from work to work. Acclaimed as the most complete and intellectually satisfying analysis of the Wagner operas, the book has met with unreserved enthusiasm from specialist and casual music lover alike. Here, available for the first time in a single paperback volume, is the perfect companion for listening to, or attending, The Flying Dutchman, Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, Tristan and Isolde, Die Meistersinger, the four operas of the Ring Cycle, and Parsifal. Newman enriches his treatment of the stories, texts, and music of the operas with biographical and historical materials from the store of knowledge that he acquired while completing his numerous books on Wagner, including the magisterial Life of Richard Wagner. The text of The Wagner Operas is filled with hundreds of musical examples from the scores, and all the important leitmotifs and their interrelationships are made clear in Newman''s lucid prose. "This is as fine an introduction as any ever written about a major composer''s masterpieces. Newman outlines with unfailing clarity and astuteness each opera''s dramatic sources, and he takes the student through the completed opera, step by step, with all manner of incidental insight along the way."--Robert Bailey, New York University
