Wagner as Music Dramatist 4: Meistersinger, Parsifal, Tristan, and the Ring

In effect, a “popular” conflation of materials found in the relevant Forschungsberichte of item 176. In spite of its origins as a “souvenir” of Bayreuth productions from 1988-2001, Müller’s and Panagl’s is a thoroughly scholarly volume containing a large number of quotations from Icelandic and Old German sources as well as observations by nineteenth-and twentieth-century scholars on most of Wagner’s familiar music dramas. Sparsely illustrated with photographs, documentary facsimiles, and a single musical example.
