Richard Wagner
DAS
RHEINGOLD
in Full Score
Das Rheingold, the first opera in Wagner’s celebrated, four-part Ring Cycle, blends
the powerful imagery of Norse and Teutonic mythology with glorious, robustly
inventive music to produce a dramatic allegory of greed and lust for power.
Despite its popularity, however, Das Rheingold has long been difficult to find in
complete score—until now. This handsome volume reproduces the full orchestral
and vocal score in a clear engraving with large, legible notation for easy reading and
study. This is the complete, authoritative B. Schott’s Sohne edition with newly
translated frontmafter, including Wagner’s poetic tribute to his patron and
benefactor, King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Virtually nowhere else wiii you locate this
masterpiece in such an eminently usable format, at such a remarkably affordable
price. Music lovers, opera buffs, musicologists—any admirer of Wagner—will
welcome Dover’s full, reliable edition of this magnificent music-drama in its
entirety.
Unabridged Dover (1985) republication of the music from the edition published by
B. Schott’s Söhne, Mainz, n.d. New Translation of German frontmatter. viii +
