"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.

This book challenges and replaces the existing view of Mallarm? mission to 're-possess' music on behalf of poetic language. Traditionally, this view focused on only the last fifteen years of the poet's life, and sprang from a belief in Mallarm? 'sudden awakening' to music during an all-Wagner concert in Paris, in 1885. Professor Heath Lees shows that Mallarm? early knowledge and experience of music was much greater than commentators have realized, and that the French poet actually began his writing career with the explicit aim of making music's performance-language of 'effect' the ground of his poetic expression. Integral to the argument is Mallarm? reaction to the work and ideas of Richard Wagner, whose impact on France came in two waves: the first broke during the tempestuous 1860s days of the Paris Tannh?er, while the second arrived in the mid-1880s, and gave birth to the Revue Wagn?enne. In refuting the critical literature that focuses on only the second of these waves, Lees shows that Mallarm?xhibited a highly informed Wagnerian background during the first wave, and that his grasp of the composer's gestural motives and flexible musical prose led him towards a new kind of self-expressive, gestural rhythm that aimed musically to reinvent poetic language. In support of this, the book examines closely what Wagner 'really' said in the prose works that were becoming known in Paris by the 1860s, in particular, Wagner's important French text, the Lettre sur la musique. It also re-examines Baudelaire's classic Wagner-brochure, and reveals its author's surprisingly firm grasp of Wagner's musico-poetic fusion. In musically informed commentary, Professor Lees surveys the four decades of success and failure that resulted from Mallarm? repeated attempts to draw out the musical gestures and resonances of words alone. In the process, he throws new light on many of Mallarm? best-known texts, hitherto judged 'difficult' by those who have failed to
