Beyond Reason

Více o knize

Focusing on Wagner's musical and compositional dramaturgy, this study challenges long-held interpretations by figures like Nietzsche and Dahlhaus. Karol Berger argues that Wagner's forms stem from Italian operatic traditions and repositions Wagner as a counterpart to Nietzsche rather than the other way around. The work is praised for its originality and depth, offering fresh insights into Wagner's music dramas and contributing significantly to the field of Wagner research. It presents a compelling revisionist perspective that redefines the understanding of these influential figures.
