Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Truth About Wagner' is a compelling biographical investigation into the life and legacy of the legendary German composer, Richard Wagner. Drawing upon significant primary sources, including the then-newly discovered Burrell Collection of letters and documents, Philip Dutton Hurn offers a revisionist perspective on Wagner's personal history. The work focuses heavily on the composer's relationship with his first wife, Minna Wagner, and seeks to correct the idealized or biased narratives established by earlier biographers and the Bayreuth circle.By examining the man behind the monumental operas, this study provides a nuanced look at Wagner's character, his creative struggles, and the domestic realities that influenced his musical output. Hurn explores the discrepancies between Wagner's public persona and his private correspondence, shedding new light on the inspirations behind his greatest works. It remains an essential read for musicologists and enthusiasts of the Romantic era who wish to understand the complexities of one of history's most influential yet controversial figures.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
