The value of the study of Wagner's prose writing as an education to
the musical student cannot be over-estimated, and amongst these
prose writings "Opera and Drama" may be considered his principal
critical and theoretical production. Without a study of its
contents no true and lasting understanding of opera can be arrived
at.
Wagner writing to his friend Uhlig said:
_"Here you have my testament; I may as well die now--anything
further that I could do seems to me a useless piece of luxury."_
ERNEST NEWMAN in "A Study of Wagner," writes: "Although there
appears here and there in his prose-work something of the vast
synthetic power of his musical imagination--such a work as 'Opera
and Drama,' for instance, finally compelling our admiration for its
tenacity of purpose and the breadth of vision that sweeps so far
before and after."
