Jewish Dwarfs and Teutonic Gods Marc A. Weiner's _Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination_ is an important study, accessible not only to musicologists but also to scholars in a variety of fields related to cultural and intellectual history.
Weiner reveals the integral vision of Wagner's theories and his artworks, and this is what makes the book so compelling, since it refutes the traditional distinction that has been made between Wagner's racist sociological theories and his works for the stage.
Weiner's treatment of racism in Wagner's music is especially fascinating, as for example in his explanation in the "Voices" chapter of the vocal and instrumental shifts that reflect the "Jewish" speech of Alberich and Mime in _Siegfried_ (pp.135-40).

 The Scorpion
Professor Weiner has simply pointed out at great length what should have been obvious, namely that anti-Semitism is crucial to Wagner's Weltanschauung, not only as expressed in his writings or private views, but also in his operas.
A paradox of Wagner's achievement, according to Weiner, is that Wagner was attempting to build an art form of the future with the perceptions and stereotypes of nineteenth century Germany, particularly as the related to Jews.
Weiner does not state, but the implication is there, that anti-Semites are in some respects better equipped to enjoy the operas because they are anti-Semites and therefore do not have to "suspend their disbelief" and think themselves into the Wagnerian world, the images being instinctively apprehended.

Weiner's thesis is that all of the unpleasant characters in Wagner's later operas, with their appearance, smells & voices, are clandestine Jews.
Weiner didn't allege there was any antisemitism in either _Lohengrin_ or _Reinzi_ (and obviously he would have if he thought it could be done) but they were still part of the same wave of protest, in 1869, that also included the Mannheim and Vienna _Meistersinger_.
Weiner's arguments in favour of his coded messages are so unconvincing, despite the ingenuity used in creating and describing them, that taken as a whole his book is a convincing argument against the existence of coded antisemitic messages in Wagner's operas.

 Review of Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination
Marc A. Weiner's Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination is an important study, accessible not only to musicologists but also to scholars in a variety of fields related to cultural and intellectual history.
In the first chapter devoted to Vision, Weiner explains Wagner's fundamentally polarized perception of the world in terms of Self and Other, and "recognition"--knowledge through identification--as the basis for creating a homogeneous society by excluding that which is recognized as foreign (dissimilar from the Self).
Weiner's treatment of racism in Wagner's music is especially fascinating, as for example in his explanation in the "Voices" chapter of the vocal and instrumental shifts that reflect the "Jewish" speech of Alberich and Mime in Siegfried (pp.135-40).

 Book Review: Marc A. Weiner
This aspect Weiner discusses at more length in his chapter on feet, in which he describes how the ungainly gait (limping) of the Jews is likewise reflected in the musical gestures by lopsided syncopa­tion and uneven intervals.
Weiner’s study is a veritable contribution to the field of Wagner schol­arship most importantly in his demonstration of how the contemporary so­cial and political conditions shaped not only his dramas, but also his music.
But Weiner maintains that while these ideological metaphors would have been recognized as such in their time, this should not detract from an appreciation of the sheer quality of his music.

 Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Marc Weiner performs the challenging task of situating the compositions of the culturally venerated Wagner within a seldom discussed and sordid nexus of racially motivated discourses, myths, and theories.
The explicit assumptions comprising the foundation of the book are that one manifestation of anti-Semitism in the nineteenth century took the form of corporeal images, which were discursively and iconographically disseminated, and that this abjection of the Jews informed the creation and reception of Wagner's treatises and operas.
On the side of the detractors, the charges levied against Weiner range from the standard complaint that he fails to couch his argument in a standard musicological format (i.e.

 The Jew as Pathogen: Reflections on Marc Weiner's Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Quite apart from eminent standards of scholarship, Weiner's book is stylistically a joy to read, and his extensive translations from the German are both true to the original and reincarnated in graceful, idiomatic English.
Weiner reminds us that Wagner makes sure that his audience becomes aware of the foul stench, the foetor judäicus, emanating from the Jewish parasite.
It is regrettable that Weiner fails to draw attention to another important variation on the same theme, Immanuel Kant's horror of "onanism" which the philosopher describes in his lectures on ethics and Metaphysical Foundations of Morals as the most disgraceful conduct of which humans are capable, degrading humans to a sub-beastly level, crimes against nature.

 AZOpera Richard Wagner Media List (Books and CDs)
Marc A. Weiner challenges that traditional view by asserting that anti-Semitism is a crucial, pervasive feature in Wagner's operas.
Weiner argues that the operas exemplify and contribute to a vast collection of images that are patently anti-Semitic - and that were readily recognized as such by nineteenth-century German audiences.
Through a careful examination of Wagner's music, libretti, and stage directions, Weiner reconstructs iconographies of corporeal images - iconographies of the eye, voice, smell, gait, and sexuality - that were essential to the operas and were "associated with anti-Semitism and the longing for an imagined German community."

 Review of "Richard  Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination"
The first book under review, Marc Weiner's Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination, is an ambitious study of Wagner's prose and music dramas that focuses on representations of the body and the senses.
As the title implies, the author's primary interest is to link these gestures and metaphors with contemporary perceptions of the Jew.
Beckmesser's melismatic style could just as easily be interpreted as an attack on the intellectual austerity of the German compositional tradition (usually represented by fugal writing) which Wagner the revolutionary was also attacking in his music.
