The Case of Wagner, Nietzsche Contra Wagner, and Selected Aphorisms.
The Case of Wagner, Nietzsche Contra Wagner, and Selected Aphorisms gathers Friedrich Nietzsche's final reckoning with the composer who had been his friend and hero. The Case of Wagner, written in 1888, attacks Wagner's music as the art of decadence, theatrical, sick and tyrannical, and holds up Bizet's Carmen against it. Nietzsche Contra Wagner, assembled a few weeks before his collapse, strings together passages from his earlier books to show that his break with Wagner had been long in the making. The selected aphorisms, drawn from across his work, concern music, art and the artist. The volume is part of the English edition of Nietzsche's works edited by Oscar Levy. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
