Tristan" was produced on June 10,
1866. with Ludwig Schnorr Won Caroisfeld
in the title part. Wagner's cup of hap
piness was now al its full. but he did
not realize how short it was to be. His
enemies declared through the news
papers that he was striving to substi-
tute art for religion in the state and
that he was leading the young King into
reckless extravagances. The King was,
in fact. contemplating the construction
OF a theatre for the production OF the
Nibelung drama, a project which was
later realized at Bayreuth, and the pub
lie clamor at length became so great
that Wagner, urged finally by the King,
left Munich for Switzerland

. ilv on Wagner II is said that AT one
rehearsal he tainted and. on recovering
exclaimed "Once more | have beaten
death" Shortly afterward he went TO
Venice. taking up his residence in the
Verdramin Palace, on the Grand Canal
where on February l3. 1883. he breathed
his last. His burial was at Bayreuth IN
the grounds of the Villa Wahnfried.
Much has been written and more mas
been misunderstood in the matter OF WaS-
ner's contribution to the lyric drama IL
is true that he did regenerate the art OF
opera. but in so doing he was but follow
ing out the aims of Gluck and Caccini
before him. H. T.. Krehbiel in his
Studies in the Wagnerian Drama. says
"Outside the theatre it Is true, he ex-
erted a tremendous influence on the de-
velopment of the musical art, but that
influence he exerted only because he was
a gifted musician who stood In the line
of succession with the great ones VINO
mad widened the boundaries OF music and
struck out new paths for it-let me say
Bach. Haydn, Gluck Mozart Beethoven
and Schumann AS a legitimate successor

advanced the musical art indeed, but as
reformer his activities went, not to music
in its absolute forms, but TO an entireiy
distinct and complex art form-the mod
ern opera.
THE ART WORK OF THE FUTURE
The term which Wagner invented to
describe what he wished TO see as the
outcome Of his strivings-the term which
his enemies parodied so successfully thae
the parody has clung to the popular
tongue and fingered in the Lopular ear IN
spite OF all explanation-is the art Work
of the future" BY this art work ne
meant a form OF theatrical entertainment
in which poetry, music, pantomime ana
the plastic arts were to cooperate on
basis OF mutual dependence, or better
perhaps. interdependence
Wagner's desire was always that the
melody should spring naturally from the
poetry, should be, in fact speech oursting
into flower and he was the last one ever
to condemn beautiful singing, except
whore II stood in the way Of truthful ut
terance. He realized also that German Is
not Italian, that other things were de-
n,anded OF the language. In Italian vocal
adornments are favored by the sottness Of
the medium. in German such adornments
become impossible. Wagner was above
all a national dramatist; as the spirits OF
his dramas find their roots in the German
heart so their form rests in the German
language" says Mr.. KrehbeL His whole
system Of declaration rests en- the genius
Of the German tongue"
