{"product_id":"2940150965492","title":"Wagner and His Music Dramas","description":"This volume, concerned with Wagnerian excerpts most frequently performed in the concert hall, has been prepared primarily for the audience of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York. Its object is to supply information in as concise and complete a manner as space will permit. It makes no boast about originality, particularly since the bulk of the material involved stems from any number of treatises on the subject of Wagner and his music.\u003cbr\u003eNo artist has known a fiercer urge to create than Richard Wagner. None has labored more mightily to indoctrinate mankind with his convictions. None has been more scathing in his contempt of reaction, of pretense, of outdated mannerisms. He wanted his works to be sagas of epic spiritual and moral power; and, whether or not he achieved his aims, he wrote music that is voluptuous and emotionally overwhelming.","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068823060720,"sku":"2940150965492","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150965492_p0.jpg?v=1763756352","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150965492","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
