The castle stands

By giants up reared.

With the Gods and the holy

Host of the heroes

Wotan sits in his hall;

And round the walls

Hewn logs are heaped,

High up-piled,

Ready for burning:

The world-ash-tree these were once.

Richard Wagner etait un compositeur de musique qui aurait voulu, dans sa jeunesse, etre Shakespeare avant d'etre Beethoven. Ce livre regroupe ses uvres litteraires (des nouvelles) evoquant la musique et la vie d'un musicien."

La vie d'un musicien

While Wagner is a key figure in the world of opera, this 'Fantasie in fis moll' for solo piano offers a rare chance to glimpse into his compositional development. Written at 18, this was the first work Wagner presented to a composition teacher. Despite lacking the mature compositional voice present in his later works, one can see the raw, creative talent of a master in the making, including references to a great composer he admired, Beethoven.

Während Wagner in der Welt der Oper als zentrale Figur bekannt ist, bietet diese 'Fantasie in Fis Moll' für das Soloklavier eine seltene Gelegenheit, Einblick in seine kompositorische Entwicklung zu erhalten. Geschrieben im Alter von 18 Jahren war dies die erste Arbeit, die Wagner seinem Kompositionslehrer vorstellte. Trotz der noch fehlenden Reife seiner kompositorischen Stimme scheint hier das rohe, kreative Talent eines sich heranbildenden Meisters durch, mit vielen Verweisen auf einen grossen, von ihm bewunderten Komponisten, Beethoven.

Fantasie in fis-moll - Piano Solo

The Richard Wagner Complete Edition presents the composer's entire output for the first time in a reliable form. The conductor Michael Balling, in the early years of the 20th century, attempted to make Wagner's work more accessible for research and performance, but the edition only reached 10 volumes - some with grave shortcomings - and was discontinued after Balling's death in 1925. A further attempt at a complete edition by Otto Strobel was abandoned at the preliminary stages. This third attempt at a complete edition will be the first scholarly, critical edition, based on an evaluation of all the accessible source materials and the latest findings of serious Wagner research. As the edition is also intended for practical performance, the musical text has been kept free of philological insertions ; these are listed in the appendices of each volume in the Critical Commentary. Numerous, partly unpublished works - some relatively unknown - and variant versions are published here for the first time. The edition presents authentic texts for Wagner specialists and researchers and critically based performing materials. Contrary to widely held opinions, even the well-known works of Wagner are not necessarily available in reliable editions. The genesis, history and performances directed by Wagner himself are extensively documented so as to present as complete an image as possible of Wagner's compositional intentions.
