Richard Wagner New Light on a Musical Life


Free Download John Louis DiGaetani, "Richard Wagner: New Light on a Musical Life"
English | ISBN: 0786445440 | 2014 | 228 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This is a new biography of the German composer Richard Wagner, 200 years after his birth, re-examining his life in light of new documents and new sensibilities. Since World War II Wagner has often been wrongly associated with Adolf Hitler because Hitler liked Wagner’s music and used it in Nazi propaganda. But Wagner died in 1883-fifty years before Hitler’s regime. It is time to have a fresh look at Wagner’s life without the Nazi associations. His life was a series of abandonments and traumas for the self-destructive but creative genius, as he tried to survive as a freelance composer in the hostile environments of 19th century Germany.

Plato came from a wealthy, connected Athenian family and lived a comfortable upper-class lifestyle until he met an odd little man named Socrates, who showed him a new world of ideas and ideals. Socrates taught Plato that a man must use reason to attain wisdom, and that the life of a lover of wisdom, a philosopher, was the pinnacle of achievement. Plato dedicated himself to living that ideal and went on to create a school, his famed Academy, to teach others the path to enlightenment through contemplation.
