My Life Volume I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419136122)

My Life V1 is an autobiographical account of the life of the famous German composer Richard Wagner. The book covers Wagner's childhood, his early years as a composer, and his struggles to establish himself in the music industry. Wagner also discusses his personal life, including his relationships with his family and friends, and his tumultuous love affairs. The book provides insights into Wagner's creative process and the inspiration behind some of his most famous works, including The Ring Cycle and Tristan and Isolde. My Life V1 is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of Richard Wagner.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.
