LIFE OF WAGNER - LUDWIG NOHL TASCHENBUCH

This biography delves into the life of Richard Wagner  a German composer  theatre director 
conductor  and polemicist  who is famous for his operas or music dramas. Wagner was a unique
opera composer who wrote both the libretto and music for his works  unlike most of his
contemporaries. He began his career composing romantic works  but he became a revolutionary
force in the world of opera by creating the Gesamtkunstwerk  or total work of art  which aimed
to merge the poetic  visual  musical  and dramatic arts with music subservient to drama.
Wagner's most complete realization of this idea was the four-opera cycle 'Der Ring des
Nibelungen.' This book provides an in-depth look at the life and accomplishments of one of the
most important and innovative figures in the world of music.
