48. Richard Wagner, 1813-1883 Richard Wagner, 18131883. The German composer Richard Wagner, was bornat Leipzig and educated chiefly at Dresden. His musical training http://www.historyguide.org/europe/wagner.html

Richard Wagner, 1813-1883 The German composer Richard Wagner, was born at Leipzig and educated chiefly at Dresden. His musical training was perfunctory until he was accepted as a pupil by Weinlig of the Thomasschule in 1830 after notice had been taken of a formidable but abortive concert overture which a friend of the family had been cajoled into performing. Wagner's early efforts were followed by his first opera, Die Feen (1833), which was not performed during the composer's lifetime. His next effort, Das Liebesverbot (1834), flopped after one performance at Magdeburg, where he had obtained the post of conductor at the opera house, and where he met Minna Planer, a member of the company, who was to become his wife in 1836. The Magdeburg opera soon went bankrupt, as did the theatre at Königsberg, where Wagner found his next post. Riga seemed more promising but Wagner was resolved to try his luck in Paris. There he barely made a living by journalism and doing hack operatic arrangements. He left Paris in 1842 with Rienzi , an opera he had finished while in debtor's prison, and made his way to Dresden where the opera scored a resounding success.

klassiekemuziekgids net Richard Wagner Leipzig 1813 – Venetië 1883 Duits componist De eerste indrukken die van invloed geweest kunnen zijn op Wagners levenswerk, het muziekdrama, waren in het ouderlijk huis (vanaf 1814 te Dresden) de persoon van Carl Maria von Weber en de werken uit de Griekse dichtkunst, die hem bij zijn eerste onderwijs al wisten te boeien. In 1827 keerde de familie terug naar Leipzig, waar Wagners studie aan het Nikolai-gymnasium al spoedig werd bemoeilijkt door zijn overheersende belangstelling voor muziek (Mozart, Beethoven) en theater (Shakespeare, Goethe). In 1828 ontstond een ‘Grosses Trauerspiel’, Leubald und Adelaide. Op twaalfjarige leeftijd begon Wagner met de pianostudie; vanaf 1828 nam hij heimelijk muzieklessen bij de orkestmusicus Christian Gottlieb Müller. In deze tijd raakte hij onder de indruk van het werk van Beethoven door een uitvoering van Fidelio; van diens negende symfonie maakte hij in 1830 een piano-uittreksel. Op 24 dec. 1830 werd zijn eerste eigen compositie uitgevoerd, de ouverture in Bes.

Home Archive B As our readers will doubtless be glad to become acquainted with the life of a man who has absorbed so much attention amongst artists for so many years, we quote a memoir of the composer from The Musical Review, written by one thoroughly conversant with the facts of his career:- furor Teutonicus, en vogue operatic spectacle, sobriquet Lohengrin, the son of Parcival, King of the Grail, leaves his blissful abode, to save Elsa , Princess of Brabant, from a false accusation of having killed her young brother. The love of Elsa and her deliverer forms the main subject of the drama, the tragic key-note being touched when Elsa , despite her promise of implicit faith, asks the name and abode of the mystical knight. This wild craving of Elsa bourgeois counterfeits, in the manner of the antique satyr-drama. The second version of the libretto, however, has been considerably modified. The worthy burghers of the beautiful German city appear in a more favourable light, the formal philistinism of their poetic doings being leavened by an admixture of true homely feeling. Hans Sachs, the poet and shoemaker, round whom, as their centre figure the numerous dramatis personae savants from all parts of the world. For more than a quarter of a century the work had been gradually assuming the form in which we know it at present, this evolutionary process continuing concurrently with other labours of an exhaustive nature. The foundation stone of the Wagner Theatre was laid in 1872, and the building is a durable testimony to the revolutionary ideas of its architect in the matter of theatrical construction. Nothing was wanting to render the production of the trilogy and unexampled success. The scenic arrangements, by Herr Brandt, of Dresden, were novel in design and beauty; the invisible orchestra, under Herr Richter, was pronounced by friends and foes alike inimitable; and the principal artists included the most eminent performers of the leading German opera-houses.
