Having been forced to flee Dresden, where he had been ''Kapellmeister'' at the Opera House, following his involvement with the May Uprising of 1849, he lived in exile, based in Zürich. He had no regular income and, although he had completed the score of his opera ''Lohengrin'', he had at first little prospect of getting it performed, or of furthering his career as a composer. During the period 1849-51 he in fact wrote hardly any music, instead concentrating on writing a series of essays in which he expounded his ideas about music and the future of opera. These included "Art and Revolution" (written in Paris in 1849), "The Artwork of the Future" (1849), "Jewishness in Music" (1850) and the book-length "Opera and Drama" (1851). Franz Liszt however offered to premiere ''Lohengrin'' in Weimar, where he was ''Kapellmeister'' to the court, and the production took place there in 1850. In the wake of this it was proposed to publish the librettos of Wagner's three most recent operas, (all of which had been written, as was normal with Wagner, by the composer himself); ''Der fliegende Holländer'',''Tannhäuser'', and ''Lohengrin''. However, Wagner was very conscious that his concept of opera had significantly moved on since writing these works, to the extent that they hardly met - and in some aspects fell a long way short of - the standards and principles he had set out in "Opera and Drama". This provoked comment amongst both Wagner's admirers and his critics. Conscious of this, he therefore wrote "A Communication to my Friends" intending it as a preface to the librettos, explaining the evolution of his ideas and the reason for these discrepancies.〔Wagner (1994), 269〕 'I was burning to write Something that should take the message of my tortured brain, and speak it in a fashion to be understood by present life'.〔Wagner (1994), 378〕 Wagner wrote to his friend Theodor Uhlig of the essay 'This is a decisive work!'〔Wagner (1890), 112, letter of August(?)1850〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Communication to My Friends」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
