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 princ.i.p.al 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."

Many years of travel and research were necessary to make the production of this work possible. The author, in addition, has most painstakingly searched mediaeval literature and the records of contemporary art for references to and descriptions of the instruments dealt with, and it is believed that the account here given of them is as complete as it is possible to make it.

The book is most generously ill.u.s.trated and carefully indexed by the editor. No pains have been spared to secure drawings or photographs of practically every type mentioned.
