Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Most who write about Wagner's operas claim that the works of Arthur Schopenhauer had a huge effect on them. The influence has, Brener believes, been vastly overstated. The most detailed exposition of that alleged influence is by Bryan Magee. In his Tristan Chord, Magee details the bases for what are often, by others, unsupported conclusions. Familiar with both the important writings of Schopenhauer and the works of Wagner, Brener is among the few capable of a thorough analysis and factual response to Magee's claims. His conclusions, backed with primary sources, stands almost alone in opposition to accepted dogma.

Biografía del autor:

Milton Brener was born in New Orleans in 1930 and was educated in that city where he engaged in the private practice of law for 33 years. After retiring at age 61 he earned a Master's Degree in Anthropology, and in 2007 moved to New York City. He is the author of ten previously published books, dealing largely with art and opera history, and with the rise of ancient Greek culture. Among his previous books is the critically acclaimed Richard Wagner and the Jews, a subject about which he has lectured and has taken part in internationally televised panel discussions.
