Thematic Guide Through the Music of Parsifal (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and complex world of Wagnerian music drama, exploring the author's unique understanding of the legendary material that inspired the composer's works. The author argues that Wagner's operas draw not simply from existing medieval legends, but from a much older, universal and deeply human source material that was reinterpreted by German poets and brought to new ethical realization. By examining the evolution of these legends, the author reveals how Wagner, through the transformative power of music, reinvigorated these timeless themes for a new age. The book delves into the specific legends surrounding the Grail, the Spear, and the figures of Parsifal, Kundry, and Amfortas, tracing their origins and evolution through various literary works. The author explores the religious and spiritual significance of these elements, demonstrating how Wagner seamlessly integrated themes of Christianity, paganism, and human fallibility within his music dramas. Through a detailed thematic analysis, the author guides the reader through the musical language of Wagner's *Parsifal*, illuminating the composer's use of leitmotifs to convey complex emotions and actions. This insightful exploration offers a unique perspective on the multifaceted world of Wagner's *Parsifal* and its profound connection to timeless themes of faith, redemption, and the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330940006_0
