To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Under the auspices of Ludwig II of Bavaria, who as a matter of fact made it possible for him to realize his ambitious dreams in all their integrity, Wagner played the role of a sort of high priest. The documents above cited are also of weighty interest from the simple point of view of the musician's biography, — especially if, having shown an adequate appreciation of these impassioned appeals, these intensely po- etic avowals, we take the trouble to remember that the sum expended in staging Tri...stan and Isolde at Munich amounted to very nearly forty thousand dollars, and that it had cost over thirty thousand for Lohengrin. And it should be added, without fear of exaggeration, that the royal presents, both in money and in specific 108 RICHARD WAGNER articles, had cost the Treasury something in the neighborhood of a hundred thousand dollars. It can easily be imagined that the Bavarian press did not fail to circulate sensational details and to excite the resentment of the public against a king with such a passion for the fine arts.
