Book Description
"MR. KREHBIEL is a critic whose honest, painstaking work it is impossible not to respect. He has read much that relates to the subject of this book, for there is evidence that Mr. Krehbiel has made extensive studies in the very wide field of German Wagner literature.... His work is a mirror in which (very pleasantly, however) the work of many foreign thinkers on the Wagnerian music-drama is reflected. One of these thinkers—the chief one, to the mind of the writer of this review—was Wagner himself. Like Wagner, Mr. Krehbiel goes back, in tracing the origin of the music-drama, to the Greek theater, and also to the music drama of the Florentine reformers of the seventeenth century, who had the same theory as Wagner — that music should faithfully reproduce the spirit of the words to which it is written. Whoever is interested in this highly important phase of musical development will find it very ably treated in Rockstro's article on the Opera, in Grove's Dictionary. "Mr. Krehbiel's general discussion of leading motives, or typical phrases, as he calls them (leit-motifen they are called in German, and leading motives will probably remain the most acceptable translation), is capital, and is enforced by several admirably selected examples. He points out that leading motives are musical symbols, not labels, and illustrates their dramatic value by showing how the merry call which Siegfried, in the music drama of that title, blows upon his horn is, in the "Dusk of the Gods," transformed into the stately measures which are heard when Siegfried sets out in quest of adventure, and finally swells to a thrilling paean at the climax of the Death March. "This general discussion of Wagnerian methods is followed by analyses of Wagner's music-dramas. Herein Mr. Krehbiel quotes some of the principal leading motives, and though he does not give them their generally accepted titles, he paraphrases these in describing their characteristics. Mr. Krehbiel has made careful investigations into the sources from which Wagner drew the material for his plots, and has, after the manner of a German monographist, charged his chapters on the music-dramas with an almost embarrassing amount of such matter. Most interesting, however, is his account of the old Mastersingers, and his quotation from a poem written by the veritable Hans Sachs and set to music by the veritable Pogner. It would perhaps have been even more interesting had Mr. Krehbiel quoted from Wagenseil's book on the Mastersingers, from which he evidently gathered much of his material, the two master-tones on which Wagner built two of the most important motives in his music-drama—the Mastersingers' March and the Art Brotherhood." —New Outlook, Volume 46

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... alle jar auf sanct thomas tag oder die nechst schuel darfor sol man die Festlider verhoren und die fest singer verornern (verordnen) wie solen singen." This was evidently to prepare for a festival on St. John Evangelist's Day (December 27). According to Schnorr von Carolsf eld 4) there was a festal gathering of the Mastersingers at Wohrd, a suburb of Nuremberg, on the Feast of Trinity. Now Wagner has either mistaken the festival of St. John Evangelist for that of St. John Baptist (June 24) or has arbitrarily changed the festival of Trinity to that of St. John. His reasons for choosing this spring-day, so beautifully celebrated in southern Germany, are obvious. 1) Wagenseil, 546. 2) Uhland: Schriften," II, 297.; 3) Genee, 4i2. 4) Mey, 44, Ranisch, 28, says that the Nuremberg Mastersingers had a festival a week after Pentecostal Sunday at Wohrd--but this was because the expenses of meeting in the church were too great. Wagner has also arbitrarily assumed that there were two Critic's Seats (Gemerke), a smaller and a larger, the first to be used at the Open Singing, the second in the Singing-school (VII, 164). This is a gratuitous invention of his, as is also the marking of the song by Beckmesser as the only critic, instead of the customary three or four. This latter device was however necessary, since only Walther's rival would have criticized his song so severely. Poor Walther is marked, too, according to rules that he has never heard, for from the Leges Tabulaturas have been read to him only the introductory part, and David's glib enumeration of errors contains no real information. There is a curious slip in Hans Sachs' speech immediately after his reception by the apprentices and people in the third act. Sachs informs...
