Traces the life of the composer Richard Wagner and analyzes the development of his operas
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Wagner is one of the most controversial of composers, and much that has been written about him - including his autobiography - is misleading. Barry Millington draws on the best previous scholarship and his own original research to set the record straight. The first part of this book is devoted to biography; the second, to a detailed study of the operas. Millington offers a historical review of the critical interpretation of each opera, including a discussion of recent methods of formal analysis. In this revised edition, two chapters, those on Tannhauser and Die Meistersinger, include significant new material. The bibliography has also been updated.
Barry Millington is a freelance writer and music critic
