Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Richard Wagner, Vol. 3 "You probably need no assuring, that no amnesty nor restitution in the world could induce me anywhere to become again what to my deepest suffering I was in Dresden." Thus Wagner writes to Uhlig precisely three months after shaking from his feet the dust of the Saxon capital, where he had felt the personal "catastrophe brewing in every limb" for nearer two years than one. It had been a moral degradation, that squandering of all his powers on an absolutely hopeless endeavour to breathe life into a mummy like the House of Wettin´s Royal Court-theatre. A quarter of a century hence, perhaps, the dead bones might begin to quiver; but what would have become of Richard Wagner´s art meanwhile? In this sense the political trouble in Saxony had been a perfect godsend. Painlessly, and without any of that humiliation which had attended all his later dealings with the Dresden management, it had removed him from an impossible situation, a post to which he had clung far more for Minna´s sake than for his own.
