Were not the facts well established
one would not readily believe that TWEEN
ty-eight years separated the first concep-
ton OF The Ring of the Nibelung' from
the final completion of the score, or that
first sketch of The Master-Singers of
Nuremberg and the last stroke of the
pen at it," writes Houston Steward
Chamberlain on How Richard Wagner
Wrote His Operas" in the November
Ladies' Home Journal"
I'm a similar way Parsifar took TWEEN
ty-five years to pass from latency to life.
And the most extraordinary part of it is
that these various works were all stimuli
taneously present in Wagner's mind. The
Ping of the Nibeiung' was not finished
till the autumn of 1874, but we rave frag-
ments of the poem and of the music,
final shape, which reach back into the
~fortaes. The score of 'Parsifar was not
finished till January, 1882, n the poem
is dated February %, 1877; yet the En-
ehantment of Good Friday was sketch
ed, in words and music, on Good Friday
of the year of 1857, and anybody who
knows the work will admit that his frag-
ment contains the whole essence of
drama. AS far as Iam aware this men,
tai phenomenon is unique in the history
of art.
The other remarkable feature. the
wonderful rapidity of composition. will
be more readily paralleled. Rhefngold.'
for example, the longest piece of sym
phonic music in the world, was written
IN two months. The complete, detailed
sketch of the score of The Walkure' was
begun and ended within five months. But
the most astounding feat was the COM
position Of Tristan and Isolde which,
from the first sketch of the completion of
the whole detailed score, took barely
and in. spite of interruptions-one year
and thr~ee-quarters. The mere manual
work of copying the thousands and thou
sands of notes would occupy almost that
time"

roads will benefit the farmers and
