Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ethics of Wagner's: The Ring of the Nibelung
This study was made with, and in the interest of, a body of musicians and musically inclined people. At first the characters of The Ring appeared to the present writer as a motley assem blage of people who moved in a round of inci dents that seemed meaningless or absurd, and, Sphinx-like, refused to explain the reasons for their existence. But on closer acquaintance personage after personage, and situation after situation yielded up a meaning and became intelligible.
