{"product_id":"beyond-reason-9780520966130","title":"Beyond Reason","description":"\u003ci\u003eBeyond Reason\u003c\/i\u003e relates Wagner’s works to the philosophical and cultural ideas of his time, centering on the four music dramas he created in the second half of his career:\u003ci\u003e Der Ring des Nibelungen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTristan und Isolde\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDie Meistersinger von Nürnberg\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eParsifal\u003c\/i\u003e. Karol Berger seeks to penetrate the “secret” of large-scale form in Wagner’s music dramas and to answer those critics, most prominently Nietzsche, who condemned Wagner for his putative inability to weld small expressive gestures into larger wholes. Organized by individual opera, this is essential reading for both musicologists and Wagner experts.","brand":"Karol Berger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48200751874299,"sku":"9780520966130","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_ec45bbe2-7e2d-425a-9a79-711e69f127d3.jpg?v=1770695180","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/beyond-reason-9780520966130","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
