Magee, Bryan
The Tristan Chord: Wagner and Philosphy
New York Metropolitan Books; Henry Holt and Company 2001 0805067884 / 9780805067880 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xi, 397 pp., [8] pp. of plates, illus., index; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First American Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "A profoundly searching investigation that reveals for the first time the philosophical foundations of Wagner's art. Richard Wagner's devotees have ranged from the subtlest minds (Proust) to the most brutal (Hitler). The enduring fascination of his works arises from his singular fusion of musical innovation and theatrical daring, but also from his largely overlooked engagement with the boldest investigations of modern philosophy. Now, in this radically clarifying book, Bryan Magee traces the Wagner's involvement in the intellectual quests of his age, from his youthful embrace of revolutionary socialism, to a Schopenhauerian rejection of the world as illusion, to the near-Buddhist resignation of his final years. Mapping the influence of ideas on Wagner's art, Magee shows how abstract thought can permeate musical work and stimulate creations of great power and beauty. And he unflinchingly confronts the Wagner whose paranoia, egocentricity, and anti-Semitism are as repugnant as his achievements are glorious. At once a biography of the composer, an overview of his times, an account of 19th century opera, and an insight into the intellectual and technical aspects of music, Magee's lucid study offers the best explanation of W. H. Auden's judgment that Wagner, for all his notorious difficulties, was 'perhaps the greatest genius that ever lived.' / Bryan Magee has had a distinguished career as a university professor, music and theater critic, member of Parliament, and author. He is well known for two popular BBC television series on philosophy. Among his internationally acclaimed books are The Story of Philosophy, The Philosophy of Schopenhauer, and Aspects of Wagner." - Publisher.
