Poor, frustrated, and angered by the fashionmongers and modepurveyors of art, Richard Wagner published The ArtWork of the Future in 1849. It marked a turning point in his life: an appraisal of the revolutionary passions of midcentury Europe, his farewell to symphonic music, and his vision of the music to come.Beethovens Ninth Symphony was unsurpassable, he wrote. Henceforth 'The Folk must of necessity be the Artist of the Future,' and only artists who were in harmony with the Folk could know what harmony was for. The essay became a touchstone for Wagner, his family, friends, and followers, as he sought to produce works that thoroughly combined music, dance, drama, and national saga.In addition to Wagners epochdefining essay, this volume includes his 'Autobiographical Sketch,' 'Art and Climate'; his libretto for an opera, 'Wieland the Smith'; and his notorious 'Art and Revolution.' The concluding piece, 'A Communication to My Friends (1851), explains his views on his first successesThe Flying Dutchman, Lohengrin, and Tannhuserand defines his agenda for later works.As spokesman for the future, Wagner spoke most of himself. In these works he set forth his ambitions, identified his enemies, and began a campaign for public attention that made him a legend in his own time and in ours.
