Many of Schopenhauer's ideas, especially those regarding music's metaphysical significance, resonated with patterns of thought that had long been central to Wagner's aesthetics, and Wagner described the entry of Schopenhauer into his life as \"a gift from heaven.\" Chafe argues that Wagner's \u003cem\u003eTristan and Isolde\u003c\/em\u003e is a musical and dramatic exposition of metaphysical ideas inspired by Schopenhauer. The first part of the book covers the philosophical and literary underpinnings of the story, exploring Schopenhauer's metaphysics and Gottfried van Strassburg's Tristan poem. Chafe then turns to the events in the opera, providing tonal and harmonic analyses that reinforce his interpretation of the drama. Chafe acts as an expert guide, interpreting and illustrating most important moments for his reader. Ultimately, \u003cbr\u003eChafe creates a critical account of Tristan, in which the drama is shown to develop through the music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEric Chafe\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of composition at Brandeis University\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 x 9.56 x 6.74 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42109296640080,"sku":"9780195176476","price":154.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/ajNUd3NTYUZqc1l6Qzc3ZzdlYWZ4UT09.webp?v=1772484637","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-tragic-and-the-ecstatic-the-musical-revolution-of-wagners-tristan-and-isolde-hardcover","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
