To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In none of these repetitions is the leitmotiv method employed. They are simply such repetitions as Gounod makes in "Faust" when the mad Marguerite imagines she hears again the first salutation of Faust, or in "Romeo et Juliette, " when the dying Romeo's disordered mind carries him back to the chamber scene and "Non, ce n'est pas le jour. " The dramatic power of "Tannhauser" is not to be sought in evidences of the development of the future Wagnerian system except in the fidelity of the music to ...the underlying thought, and of the masterful employ- ment of operatic materials hitherto used wholly with a view to musical effectiveness. In characterisation, too, this score shows an advance over that of " Der Flie- gende Hollander, " which itself was far ahead of its contemporaries. Wagner himself lays stress upon the deep significance of passages of free composition. For example, he says that in the stanza which Tann- hauser sings in the finale of the second act ("Zum Heil den Sundigen zu Fuhren ") — a stanza which is Tannhauser 269 usually buried by the ensemble — "lies the whole significance of the catastrophe of Tannhauser, and indeed the whole essence of Tannhauser ; all that to me makes him a touching phenomenon is expressed here alone.
