Summary

Music professor Jean-Jacques Nattiez examines Wagner's concept of himself as both man and woman. "Nattiez's synthetic approach to Wagner's theory and practice . . . coupled with his profound understanding of the composer's life, make this volume a major contribution to Wagnerian studies. . . . It is a highly enriching and most comprehensive treatment of Wagner the artist and the human being".--Steven R. Cerf, WAGNER NOTES.
