Life of Wagner . E-book. Formato EPUB Ludwig Nohl   -  Pubme, 2016  - 

The masters of music, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, advanced this art beyond the limits of their predecessors by identifying themselves more closely with the development of active life itself. By their creative power they invested the life of the nation and mankind with profounder thought, culminating at last in the most sublime of our possessions—religion. No artist has followed in their course with more determined energy than Richard Wagner, as well he might, for with equal intellectual capacity, the foundation of his education was broader and deeper than that of the classic masters; while on the other hand the development of our national character during his long active career, became more vigorous and diversified as the ideas of the poets and thinkers were more and more realized and reflected in our life. Wagner’s development was as harmonious as that of the three classic masters, and all his struggles, however violent at times, only cleared his way to that high goal where we stand with him today and behold the free unfolding of all our powers. This goal is the entire combination of all the phases of art into one great work: the music-drama, in which is mirrored every form of human existence up to the highest ideal life.

Wolfgang Amade Mozart ist am 27. Januar 1756 in Salzburg geboren. Sein Vater Leopold stammte aus einer bürgerlichen Familie der damaligen freien Reichsstadt Augsburg und war in die Fürsterzbischöfliche Residenz Salzburg gekommen, weil dort eine gute Universität war, denn er wollte die Rechte studieren. Wie er sich aber schon während dieses Studiums durch Musikunterricht zu erhalten hatte, so mußte er bald ganz in fremde Dienste treten: er ward Kammerdiener eines Domherrn Graf Thurn und später zuerst Hofmusikus, dann Kapellmeister des Erzbischofs. Im Jahre 1747 hatte er die Pflegetochter eines nahen geistlichen Stifts geheiratet; beide galten ihrerzeit für das schönste Ehepaar in Salzburg. Von sieben Kindern blieben ihnen zwei, Maria Anna genannt Nannerl und unser Wolfgang, der meist Woferl genannt ward. Die Schwester war etwa fünf Jahre älter und beide zeigten von Kindheit an ganz außerordentlichen Musiksinn. ...
