My Life V1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162675428)

My Life V1 is a memoir written by the renowned German composer Richard Wagner. This book is the first volume of his autobiography, which covers his early life, education, and career up until the year 1842. In this book, Wagner provides an insightful and detailed account of his childhood, his family, and his musical training. He also discusses his early musical compositions, his struggles to establish himself as a composer, and his relationships with other musicians and artists of his time. Throughout the book, Wagner's passion for music and his dedication to his craft are evident, and readers will gain a deeper understanding of the man behind some of the most iconic operas in history. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of Richard Wagner or the history of classical music.On the other hand, I tried to strengthen myself by again working energetically at Lohengrin. While doing this, I proceeded in a manner that I have not since repeated. I first of all completed the third act, and in view of the criticism already mentioned of the characters and conclusion of this act, I determined to try to make it the very pivot of the whole opera. I wished to do this, if only for the sake of the musical motive appearing in the story of the Holy Grail; but in other respects the plan struck me as perfectly satisfactory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
