Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Art Life and Theories of Richard Wagner
Early the next day, after he was dead, our mother came into the nursery, and said something to each of us children; to me she said, He hoped that some thing worth having might be made of you.
And I remember that I long imagined something would be made of me.
With my ninth year I entered the Dresden Kreuz schule. I wanted to study; I had no thought of music. Two Of my sisters were learning to play the piano but I listened to them without taking lessons myself.
