	Richard Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wagner was and remains a controversial figure, both for his musical and dramatic innovations, and for his anti-semitic and political opinions.
		Wagner's final opera, Parsifal, which was written especially for the opening of Wagner's Festspielhaus in Bayreuth and which is described in the score as a "Bühnenweihfestspiel" (festival play for the consecration of the stage), is a contemplative work based on the Christian legend of the Holy Grail.
		Wagner was responsible for several theatrical innovations developed at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, an opera house specially constructed for the performance of his operas (for the design of which he appropriated many of the ideas of his former colleague, Gottfried Semper, which he had solicited for a proposed new opera house at Munich).

	Notes on Siegfried Idyll (1870)
		Cosima Liszt, daughter of the famed Franz Liszt, was married to Hans von Bülow, one of the most famous conductors and pianists of the day, and a close friend of Wagner’s.
		Because Wagner feared that an illegitimate child would anger his patrons, causing him to lose financial support, he didn’t claim Isolde as his own, and acted only as her godfather.
		Cosima recorded the performance in her diary: “As I awoke, my ear caught a sound, which swelled fuller and fuller; no longer could I imagine myself to be dreaming, music was sounding, and such music!

		Wagner himself said that if he had not been an artist then he would have liked to have become a saint -- but precisely because he was an artist, he could not also be a saint.
		It is clear from Cosima Wagner's Diaries that Wagner's private reaction to the split with Nietzsche was regret, a wish to have the breach healed, and an undoubtedly patronising pity for 'that poor young man' Nietzsche.
		Wagner did not respond in public to Nietzsche's repeated attacks (except once, a very indirect reference in one of his essays, without mentioning Nietzsche's name); contra Köhler, the abuse was very much a one-way street, and not in the direction that Köhler suggests.

	How Wagner's slave turns superman
		Cosima, a figure no less formidable, seems to have been an even more repellent personality than her husband.
		In a famous putdown of Wagner's compositions, Mark Twain remarked that "Wagner's music is better than it sounds." Nietzsche also got his lumps: Professional philosophers tended to dismiss him as a philologist whose views, like Wagner's, foreshadowed Nazism.
		If Nietzsche aspired to be Wagner's chief disciple, he soon learned that he would be required to put himself entirely at the disposal of the master.

	Nietzsche und Wagner
		Wagner had lived there since April, 1866, after he had to retreat from Munich in such a humiliating manner; after a short time, Cosima von Bülow had moved to Tribschen, as well and, while she was still married to Hans von Bülow, was expecting her third child, her daughter Isolde.
		Wagner is reported by her has having put an end to the playing with his cynical words (that are also most destructive as a comment among musicians), 'No Niezsche, you play much too well for a Professor'.
		Wagner was not quite innocent in Nietzsche's non-completion of that work, since, in his discussions, referred to events of the time, particularly to David Friedrich Strauß and his book "Der alte und der neue Glaube" [The old and the new fairh] which he, in Cosima's words, found "entzetzlich seicht" [terribly shallow].

		There followed a passionate flame (at least on Wagner's side) that, although possibly the relationship was never consummated, was to continue to burn until it was extinguished by Cosima in February 1878.
		Cosima continues as ever before filled with feelings of admiration and gratitude towards you on account of the Japanese dress and all the other things you have chosen for her.

	WSWDC: Santacroche Transcript, pt.1
		The aspect of Schopenhauer's philosophy that Wagner did not abandon was the part which states that music is the ultimate form of expression, and that the union of words and music produces in the listener a depth of emotion that dwarfs the limits of either form by itself.
		Also, for the Wagner who, nearing the end of his life, "collapses weeping and broken before the cross," it would be important to make a statement of faith that includes a repudiation of that profligacy.
		Wagner's Holy Grail is the SYMBOL of Christ's continuing presence among us, and it is that symbol that is in danger of being lost forever as "Parsifal" opens, not the presence itself.

	Pro Arte: Wagner; Siegfried Idyll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		From its title one would guess that Wagner's Siegfried Idyll was, like Siegfried's Rhine Journey, connected to the hero of his mighty Ring tetralogy and perhaps drawn from the third part of that work, itself entitled Siegfried.
		And it was there that Wagner prepared for his new wife an exquisite present for her thirty-third birthday, which fell on Christmas Day 1870.
		Both Wagner and Cosima felt that this work was something connected to the intimacy of their marriage, so it was with some pain that Wagner, in a time of financial difficulty, sent it off to a publisher in November 1877.
