LITERARY IMAGE OF BEETHOVEN IN RICHARD WAGNER’S RECEPTION
Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2015, Vol 128, Issue
Abstract
The article which is based on the essay “Beethoven” (“Beethoven”, 1870) and the novel “Pilgrimage to Beethoven” (“Eine Pilgerfahrt zu Beethoven”, 1840) presents a literary image of prominent German composer, created by his no less outstanding colleague Richard Wagner. Focusing on “Kreisleriana” by E. T. A. Hoffmann, the artist positioned “his Beethoven” between musical theory and artistic invention. Significantly, R. Wagner largely identified himself with Beethoven, and used his music in elucidating his own musical theory while the predecessor’s creative life served to problematize his career. Beethoven appears as a prophet of new music, in realizing of which he did not succeed because of life circumstances, but he substantiated its possibility, which was further used by Richard Wagner.
