Ce livre rassemble des écrits de Wagner (Beethoven, suivi d'Une communication à mes amis et de Lettre sur la musique) devenus introuvables. Tout d'abord, les textes qu'il a consacrés à Beethoven, le grand intercesseur, entre 1840 et 1870, et publiés en français en 1937, dans une traduction de Jean-Louis Crémieux-Brilhac. Et puis, paru en 1976, traduit et préfacé par Jean Launay, Une communication à mes amis, le texte de présentation de ses trois grands opéras d'avant la Tétralogie : Le Vaisseau fantôme, Tannhäuser et Lohengrin. En 1851, âgé de trente-huit ans, le compositeur y définit sa conception du drame musical, qu'il oppose à l'opéra, à travers le récit de son propre itinéraire et une vision très juste de son avenir musical, notamment de L'Anneau du Nibelung. A ces textes s'ajoute enfin l'important Lettre sur la musique, traduit en 1860 par Challemel-Lacour, que Wagner avait connu dans leur exil en Suisse, et qui fut longtemps, en France, l'unique accès aux écrits théoriques de Wagner, écrivain prolifique qui n'a jamais vraiment séparé le théorique de l'autobiographique.

Ecrits sur la musique

Hagen, fils d'Alberich, convoite toujours l'anneau. Il promet Brünnhilde à son demi-frère Günther sans lui dire qu'elle est l'épouse de Siegfried. Celui-ci, ayant bu un philtre qui lui a fait perdre la mémoire, ne sait plus que Brünnhilde est sa femme. Il va lui-même l'enlever à son rocher pour l'offrir à Günther. Hagen propose alors à Bünnhilde de la venger de cet affront et tue Siegfried d'un coup de lance dans le dos, mais ne peut prendre l'anneau que le héros tient serré dans sa main. Brünnhilde, qui a compris la machination du traître, fait dresser un bûcher où elle dépose le corps de Siegfried et se précipite elle-même dans les flammes. Le feu s'étend jusqu'au Walhalla, qui s'écroule.
Un crépuscule éternel va commencer pour les dieux ; l'univers restera sans maîtres, mais conservera un bien précieux entre tous qu'il devra chérir plus que l'or : l'amour. Et l'anneau retrouvera sa place dans les profondeurs du Rhin.
Après le prologue de L'Or du Rhin, La Walkyrie et Siegfried, Crépuscule des dieux est la troisième et dernière journée de L'Anneau du Nibelung.

An important addition to our newly produced orchestral materials is the first publication of vocal scores of Wagner's ten great operas, in every important version, based on the Complete Edition. The score corresponds to the performance materials from the Complete Edition. For practical use in rehearsal cues and bar numbers throughout. The publisher has secured the services of renewed musicologists associated with the Richard Wagner Complete Edition who convey detailed information in critical forewords. The forewords are given in three languages(German, English, French). Uniform and attractive front cover designs with reproductions of paintings from the Wagner era underline the series design of the edition. DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER (1842-1880 version) "This piano reduction is based on the edition of Der fliegende Holländer from the Critical Complete Edition of Richard Wagner's works (Richard Wagner, Sämtliche Werke [Collected works], Vol. 4, III-VI, edited by Egon Voss, Mainz, 2000f.) The primary source for this edition was the first print of the score dating from 1845 which had however been augmented utilising the sources of additions undertaken after 1845, meaning that this edition is actually a compilation of the final versions of all individual sections or relevant details. The overture for example dates back to 1860 whereas No. 1 appears in the version from 1864. What is however most significant is that the versions from the Collected Editions based on new sources is without doubt closer to the original than the score from 1897 edited by Felix Weingartner which had previously formed the basis for all editions and logically also for all performances. " (Egon Voss, quoted from the foreword of the new Der fliegende Holländer vocal score) Original version and 1842-1880 version The original version of Der fliegende Holländer dates from 1841. Wagner, at the time a completely unknown Kapellmeister in France, trying to get a foothold in Paris, saw the opportunity for a stage work that would meet the fashion at the Paris Opera of performing several short works one after another. Der fliegende Holländer, conceived in 1840 and composed in 1841, seemed to him suited to the purpose. In 1841, even when Wagner no longer counted on a success in Paris, he still held to the conception of a one-act opera and offered the work to German opera houses under the title of "Romantic Opera in One Act and Three Scenes". This version is set in Scotland, taking as the literary model for the opera Heinrich Heine's novel fragment "From the Memoirs of Mr. Schnabelewopski", and the protagonists have English names. This version was never performed in Wagner's lifetime. Beginning in 1842, the work went through a tale of constant revision : Even before the Dresden premiere (2nd January 1843) Wagner undertook fundamental alterations. He transposed the location from Scotland to Norway, changed character's names as appropriate, divided the opera into three acts - not least due to considerations of scene changes - and transposed Senta's Ballad from A minor to G minor. It was in this version that the score of the opera went to print in 1845. For a performance in 1860 he composed the later so-called 'Tristan' or 'Redemption' ending to the Overture. Until the very end of his life, Wagner contemplated a plan for a final score or a definitive vocal score : it never came to be, so that to this day, as with Tannhäuser, we still do not have Der fliegende Holländer in a final version. Based on the research conducted in the creation of the Complete Edition, our editions contain, in one case the original version of 1841, while the other essentially goes back to the first printing of the score of 1845, but with the addition of the source material for the retouchings dating from 1842 to 1889. VOCAL SCORES The original version of the opera was made available for the first time in a vocal score in 2005 (ED 8065). The completely revised new edition of the vocal score of the 1842-1880 version appeared in 2011 (ED 20531). WWV 63

Wagner Urtext-Klavierauszüge

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

Richard Wagner war Mitte zwanzig, als er diese fiktive Erzählung für eine französische Musikzeitschrift verfasste. Sie wurde 1840 -- einige Jahre nach Beethovens Tod -- veröffentlicht und bezeugt in ihrer phantastischen und witzigen Ausgestaltung Wagners Begeisterung für das Musikgenie, das 1770 in Bonn geboren wurde und 1827 in Wien starb.

Eine Pilgerfahrt zu Beethoven - Novelle

Siegfried (Bilingue)

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.
