Beyond Reason Wagner contra Nietzsche By: Karol Berger Publisher: University of California Press Print ISBN: 9780520292758, 0520292758 eText ISBN: 9780520966130, 0520966139 Edition: 1st Format: PDF Available from $ 65.00 USD SKU: 9780520966130 Beyond Reason relates Wagner’s works to the philosophical and cultural ideas of his time, centering on the four music dramas he created in the second half of his career: Der Ring des Nibelungen, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Parsifal. Karol Berger seeks to penetrate the “secret” of large-scale form in Wagner’s music dramas and to answer those critics, most prominently Nietzsche, who condemned Wagner for his putative inability to weld small expressive gestures into larger wholes. Organized by individual opera, this is essential reading for both musicologists and Wagner experts. SKU: 9780520292758 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/Beyond-Reason
