Richard Wagner, a renowned conductor of his era, left an indelible mark on the world of music through his influential teachings. His disciples, including Hans von Bülow, Hans Richter, Anton Seidl, Felix Mottl, Arthur Nikisch, and numerous protégés, embraced and propagated a Wagnerian interpretation style that became prevalent in Europe and America for an extended period, even until the early 20th century. Wagner's profound insights into conducting extended their influence, and subsequent generations of conductors, such as Mahler, Strauss, Furtwängler, Böhm, Scherchen, and many others, regarded his conducting essays as fundamental to their art.
This groundbreaking publication presents the first complete and modern translation of Wagner's conducting essays in English. Moreover, it is the inaugural edition to offer extensive annotations that elucidate the reception and profound impact of these writings. The accompanying critical essay delves into Wagner's conducting practices, innovative tempo and transition techniques, the creation of a unique artistic vocabulary, and his successful establishment of a conductor school to promote his works and his aesthetic.
We are grateful to the Swiss National Science Foundation for their generous support in making this digital edition of the book openly accessible to the public. Through their dedication, we are able to preserve and disseminate Wagner's invaluable contributions to the world of music, ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire and influence musicians for generations to come.
