Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner's Life and Works, Vol. 1 Hese volumes are the outgrowth of an analysis of The Ring of the Nibelung, published as a pamphlet three years ago. It having passed through four editions, a fifth enlarged and illustrated edition was published last fall. The success of this having proved its usefulness to the lay musical public, the present volumes were under taken. They make pretense to nothing more than giving as much information as the lay reader would care for concern ing Wagner's life and works. For this reason technical expressions and discussions have been avoided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
