Wagner and His Music-Dramas

Foreword:

This volume, concerned with Wagnerian excerpts most frequently performed in the concert hall, has been prepared primarily for the audience of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York.  Its object is to supply information in as concise and complete a manner as space will permit.  It makes no boast about originality, particularly since the bulk of the material involved stems from any number of treatises on the subject of Wagner and his music.
