Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study examines the nature of the interdisciplinary procedures implicit in 'Gesamtkunstwerk' and suggests a critical methodology to illuminate the processes and techniques which Richard Wagner used as a bridge between dramatic text and music, thus creating a unique fusion of the major elements that constitute the 'total work of art'. |
