  CHAPTER I. THE WAGNERIAN DRAMA: ITS PROTOTYPES AND ELEMENTS. CHAPTER II. "TRISTAN UND ISOLDE." CHAPTER III. "DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NuRNBERG." CHAPTER IV. "DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN." TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES: The book cover has been modified and was put on the public domain. A number of words in this book have both hyphenated and non-hyphenated variants. For the words with both variants present the one used more times has been kept. It was also detected that some names have two different spellings. That was respected as both are correct. The musical examples that are discussed in the book can be heard by clicking on the [Listen] tab. This is only possible in the HTML version of the book. The scores that appear in the original book have been included as images. In some cases the scores that were used by the music transcriber to generate the music files differ from the original scores. Those differences are in part due to modifications that were made during the process of creating the musical archives as the music transcriber added instruments that were not indicated in the original scores. Other modifications were made to correct obvious mistakes in the original scores. These scores are included as png images, and can be seen by clicking on the [PNG] tag in the HTML version of the book. Obvious punctuation and other printing errors have been corrected. |
