DOWNLOAD EBOOKDeals with antisemitism in ch. 7 (p. 267-308), "The Outmoded World of the Judaic-Christian Tradition." In "Das Judentum in der Musik" (1850) Wagner denied the capacity of Jews to have deep emotional feelings in music and art. Nevertheless, their financial power gave them influence in musical life. Despite the assistance he received from Jewish friends and patrons, the supposed threat posed to Germany by the Jews became an obsession for Wagner, and all his enemies were identified with the Jews.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Here is a life of Wagner told by those who rubbed shoulders with him in the course of his turbulent and turpitudinous three score years and ten. Few composers have led such eventful lives or excited such violent views. No one could be indifferent to Wagner, and his contemporaries were not slow to record their impressions of a man they either idolized or demonized.
