About this book
Life of Wagner is a book by Ludwig Nohl. The preface says the masters of music, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, advanced this art beyond the limits of their predecessors by identifying themselves more closely with the development of active life itself. The text says the study of Greek, Latin, mythology, and ancient history so completely captivated the active mind of the boy that his teacher advised him seriously to devote himself to philological studies.
The text says that in his eleventh year the boy would be a poet, and that he had already translated the first twelve books of Homer's Odyssey. The text says a grand tragedy based on the themes of Hamlet and King Lear was immediately undertaken. The text says that on the 12th of February the person it follows even visited his banker and drew sufficient money to cover the expenses of a projected trip into southern Italy, with his son, Siegfried.
