Synopsis
Excerpt from Art Life and Theories of Richard Wagner Outside of Germany, only the most devoted students of Wagner's theories have any true knowledge of him as a writer - or at all events, as a writer of anything beyond the texts of his operas. And even among those most interested, either as upholders or opponents of his beliefs, such knowledge has been confined to readers who have a much better understanding of German than is sufficient to follow the general course of an ordinary treatise. Thus, although many have an excellent acquaintance with his ideas as interpreted by others, very few know them as interpreted by himself; and it is safe to say that only a small minority of those who take a keen interest in the new school, know of even the existence of the nine stout octavo volumes of collected works, which entitle Wagner to the name of its first literary and philosophical expositor, as he is otherwise entitled to that of its first composer. Only a few of his pamphlets, essays, and letters, have been translated into English. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

And I remember that I long imagined something would be made of me. With my ninth year I entered the Dresden Kreuz schule. I wanted to study; I had no thought of music. Two Of my sisters were learning to play the piano but I listened to them without taking lessons myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Seller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.

    The first item was not right. The seller made it right. New item received in great condition. Thank you for the great communication and customer service. It looked exactly like the description and I'm pleased with the value of it. Thanks for producing a quality product that is almost impossible to find now. Most of all, thanks for making it right when it was wrong.
