"At the age of twenty-six Richard Wagner gave up his as yet undistinguished musical career in Germany and traveled to Paris, then the musical center of Europe, in order to make his fortune with a grand opera, Rienzi. It was a mad undertaking. The operatic Paris of the early 1840's was a rat race in which an impecunious, unknown German stood no chance. Wagner barely managed to survive by means of journalism and musical hackwork. But he did composer his first masterpiece, The Flying Dutchman. And from the mercenary, sensation-loving French capital, Wagner looked back to his homeland, the country of Mozart and Beethoven, as the inspiration of the ideals of artistic depth and purity which were to dominate his later life. The writings presented in this book present Wagner in a new and unexpected light. They strikingly convey what he thought, felt, and suffered as a young man, before bitterness and frustration took their toll. In later years Wagner's pen was employed mainly to project himself upon a recalcitrant world as the creator of a new and greater art. Here, his style is unpretentious, his mind still open, his voice still gay. These early writings convey the fascination of Wagner's personality--an impassioned idealist, a penetrating thinker, a shrewd observer, warmhearted, courageous, and brimming over with high spirits, poetry, and humor. They also vividly re-create the life of Paris in the pleasure-loving age that followed Napoleon and gave a dramatic insight into the revolutionary ideas which Wagner was triumphantly to vindicate in his later music. This selection of the best pieces which Wagner wrote for French and German periodicals, newly translated and edited by two of the leading Wagner specialists in England today, rescues some superb writing from undeserved neglect. And it provides a self-revealing and witty portrait of a great composer before he became famous." --Jacket.

How did Wagner's experiences in Paris influence his works and social character? And how does his sometime desire for recognition by the French cultural establishment square with his German national identity and with the related idea of a universally valid art? Friedrich Nietzsche more than once claimed that Wagner's only true home was in Paris. This book is the first major study to trace Wagner's relationship with Paris from his first sojourn there (1839-1842) to the Paris Tannhäuser (1861). How did Wagner's experiences in Paris influence his works and social character? How does his sometime desire for recognition by the French cultural establishment square with his German national identity and with the related idea of a universally valid art? This book presents Wagner's perennial ambition of an international operatic success in the "capital city of the nineteenth century" and the paradoxical consequences of that ambition upon its failure. Through an examination of previously neglected source materials, the book engages with ideas in the so-called "Wagner debate" as an ongoing philosophical project that tries to come to terms with the composer's Germanness. The book is in three main parts arranged broadly in chronological sequence. The first considers Wagner's earliest years in Paris, focusing on his own French-language drafts of Das Liebesverbot and Der fliegende Holländer. The second part explores his stance towards Paris "at a distance" following his return to Saxony and subsequent political exile. Arriving at Wagner's most often discussed "Paris period" (1859-61), the third part interrogates the concert performances under the composer's direction at the Théâtre-Italien and revisionist aspects of their reception. JEREMY COLEMAN is Lecturer in Music in the School of Performing Arts, Universityof Malta.

"This book examines the shifting attitudes toward Wagner reflected in the Parisian press during the period of the Third Reich. Paradoxically, during one of the darkest periods of French history, as the German threat grew more tangible and then manifested in the Nazi occupation of France, Parisians chose to see in Wagner a universality that transcended his Germanness. As Franco-German diplomatic relations gradually worsened in the 1930s, Wagner became an increasingly integral part of French musical culture. Parisians were unwilling to surrender Wagner to German exclusivist claims. In previous decades the French had used Wagner to symbolize a diverse array of political arguments and positions, from right-wing nationalism to left-wing humanism and egalitarianism, In the 1930s, however, the Parisian press depicted him as a universalist. Although Wagner had stood in for German nationalism and chauvinism in recent periods of Franco-German conflict, in the 1930s Parisians refused this notion and attempted to reclaim his role in their own national history and imagination. Even once war was declared in 1939 and a ban on the performance of Wagner's music was implemented, commentators insisted that it was simply a temporary measure designed to avoid public disturbance. Simultaneously, they maintained that 'music has no borders,' and that 'it is childish to mix art and politics.' The Wagner discourses that emerged from the 1930s Parisian press paved the way for the dominant Wagner discourse in the German-controlled Occupation press: Collaboration through Wagner. By a great irony of history, the concept of Wagner the universalist that had been used to resist the Nazis in the 1930s was transformed into the infamous collaborationist rhetoric promoted by the Vichy government between 1940 and 1944"--
