The Case of Wagner by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
QR code
"The Case of Wagner" by Friedrich Nietzsche is a book published in 1888. Subtitled "A Musician's Problem," it marks Nietzsche's dramatic break with composer Richard Wagner, whom he once admired. Nietzsche critiques Wagner's involvement with nationalism and antisemitism, while presenting him as a symptom of a broader European disease: nihilism. The work showcases Nietzsche's skills as a music critic and explores art's relationship to humanity's future health, standing in sharp contrast to
his earlier praise of Wagner. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
