Excerpt from A Study of Wagner
Brief exposition of them could serve any useful purpose. Some readers may feel astonished that while I have passed over a portion of Wagner's ablest and most interesting work in this way, I have discussed at fair length many of his treatises that are of far less intrinsic value. The reason is that these latter, though not finally educational or illuminative in themselves, are factors that cannot be overlooked in the attempt at a veracious diagnosis of Wagner; while such writings as the purely musical ones merely illustrate points in his mental structure that are dealt with in other connec tions. My object has been to study Wagner as a psychological and aesthetic phenomenon; to try to answer the questions ln virtue of what constitution of brain was he so great a musician? And How did his peculiarities of mental structure affect his views of the other arts and of life in general?

Excerpt from A Study of Wagner
The present volume is not intended to add another to the many "Lives" of Wagner, but to make an attempt at estimating the work of his practical achievements on the one hand and of his theoretical speculations on the other. It is hoped that the "Synthetic Table" will not only supply the reader with all the biographical and other details material to the subject, but will present the information in a very easily apprehensible form. The Table will show at a glance the direction of Wagner's musical and speculative activities in any given year, as well as certain contemporaneous events that are of interest in connection with the development of Wagner's mind and of music in general.
It may be necessary to forewarn readers that no account is taken here of sundry writings that do not bear closely on a general study of Wagner's genius.
