Book Description
Excerpt from Wagner as Man and Artist It is in keeping with the whole character of the man that he Should have left us more copious documentary material concerning himself than any other artist has ever done. Publicity was as much a necessity to him as food and air. The most interesting person in the universe to him was always himself and he took good care that the world Should not suffer from any lack of know ledge oi a phenomenon which he rightly held to be unique. It would be a Sign of unwisdom to despise him for this. It has to be recognised that whatever criticism the contemporary moralist might have to pass upon this or that portion of Wagner's conduct with the outer world, he was always the soul of purity and stead fastness in the pursuit of his ideal. He believed he had come into the world to do a great and indispensable work and if he occasion ally sacrificed others to his ideal, it must be admitted that he never hesitated to sacrifice himself. Regarded purely as an artist, no man has ever kept his conscience more free from stain. And it is precisely this ever-present burning sense of the inherent greatness of his mission that accounts primarily for his constant pouring-out of himself, not only in music - his musical output.
