| ||||||

donde encontro esse libro para descarregar (download) a partir da Net? E sobre os textos de Wagner: Religiao e Arte e La Carta Aberta contra a vivisseção de animais, existe un site espanhol wagneriano (no es lo Wagnermania es otro), que contenha tais textos em espanhol? Ajudem-me pois preciso deles. Gracias (e perdoem-me o español mezclado con português e inglês)... |

Parzival, puede encontrar el texto "Religión y arte" (en español) en http://archivowagner.info/101.html En cuanto al texto contra la vivisección de los animales, en la página arriba mencionada se encuentra una carta abierta a Ernst von Weber -siempre en español-, que trata del tema y tal vez pueda ayudarlo, si no es precisamente lo que usted busca: http://archivowagner.info/201.html Sobre Theodor Adorno lamento no poder ayudarlo. Saludos. |

Hola, Parzifal: A mí también me interesa el tema. De momento tan sólo he encontrado esta reseña en inglés: In Search of Wagner by Theodor Adorno, translated by Rodney Livingstone, introduced by Slavoj Zizek Verso, £12 I think I am getting to the point where I have spent more time reading about Wagner than listening to him. And I’ve heard the Ring cycle in its entirety three times, ditto Tristan and Parsifal - which may not be nearly as many times as some of the leathery old Nazis with season tickets to Bayreuth, but it does, I hope, put my achievement, if that is what it is, into some sort of perspective. There is something about Wagner that demands explication, a quality absent from every other composer. Not even the composer of The Magic Flute attracts anything like the same degree of exegesis. You get more "Wagner Studies" than "Mozart Studies". For my part, I had hardly started ploughing through the Ring for the first time before I realised I was going to have to read a book about it just to help me find out what the hell was going on. And when I finished that book I was still only a third of the way through Siegfried. I needed another one, and then another ... I’m glad I didn’t find Adorno’s In Search of Wagner at first. It might have put me off. The first chapter, "Social Character", devastates. In Wagner’s pronouncements and dealings with people, Adorno points out, is "a configuration of envy, sentimentality and destructiveness". When liberal Wagner apologists cite his relationship with the Jewish conductor of Parsifal, Hermann Levi, as proof that his anti-semitism was not serious, Adorno directs us to the incident when Wagner handed Levi an anonymous letter begging that Parsifal not be conducted by a Jew. He then had the cheek to ask Levi, over dinner, why he was being so quiet. This is the crux of "Wagner Studies", then. Is the work itself infected with this poison? I first used the quip about leathery old Nazis in a review for this paper, written four years ago, of Bryan Magee’s Wagner and Philosophy. That book was a very convincing, and highly readable and entertaining apologia; but then I read Marc Wiener’s Richard Wagner and the Anti-Semitic Imagination, which showed that you can’t say that there’s no anti-semitism in Wagner’s work. Wiener is indebted to Adorno; Magee does not deign to mention him. But Adorno, the most brilliant music critic of his age, whatever anyone else says, was writing this at a time when these questions were urgent: in 1938. It was not wise then to say, in Germany, that Hitler’s favourite composer was a sadistic hypocrite. So Adorno moved to New York and this crucial little book didn’t appear until 1952. (This is a reprint of a first-rate translation which appeared in 1981. It is also not a cheap photo-reproduction but a proper reprint, and the introduction by Slavoj Zizek is fascinating in its own right.) It caused a storm then; and Adorno’s reputation is still controversial. But he nailed Wagner (even the book’s brevity, you suspect, is a kind of rebuke), while at the same time crediting his compositional abilities and influence. For, amazingly, one cannot dismiss Wagner just because he was a repulsive, and indeed dangerous man. Like it or not, there are moments when the music is, as Magee puts it, "beyond all power of words to describe". Adorno, who knows a lot more about music than Magee, spends some time describing it, and this is where the non-specialist reader might get bogged down; but Adorno regularly inserts startling, brilliant and witty aperçus, which make every second of effort worthwhile. He can call an organ’s sound "thing-like"; or, my favourite, declare that "anyone fully able to grasp why Haydn doubles the violins with a flute in piano might well get an intuitive glimpse into why, thousands of years ago, men gave up eating uncooked grain and began to bake bread, or why they started to smooth and polish their tools". This is criticism of the highest order, audacious and illuminating, never dull, assuming equal intelligence in the reader, and full of insights that apply to all art and culture, never mind just Wagner. También me interesan las opiniones de Bryan Magee, citado en la reseña, sobre Wagner. Igualmente, podemos encontar alguna reseña en inglés. Tiene un libro en el que trata del maestro tanto desde el punto de vista musical como filosófico. Mientras que Adorno es un furibundo antiwagneriano que no sólo cuestiona al Wagner como persona, sino también como músico; Magee simpatiza con él. Un saludo y ya te avisaré si encuentro algo en español. Rex. |
