Nietzsche wrote the rough draft of “The Case of Wagner” in Turin, during the month of May 1888; he completed it in Sils Maria towards the end of June of the same year, and it was published in the following autumn. “Nietzsche _contra_ Wagner” was written about the middle of December 1888; but, although it was printed and corrected before the New Year, it was not published until long afterwards owing to Nietzsche’s complete breakdown in the first days of 1889. In reading these two essays we are apt to be deceived, by their virulent and forcible tone, into believing that the whole matter is a mere cover for hidden fire,—a mere blind of æsthetic discussion concealing a deep and implacable personal feud which demands and will have vengeance.

As The Springtide Of 1813 Was Melting Into Early Summer The Poet And Musician Of Spring Days And Summer Nights Was Born At The House Of The Red And White Lion On The Brühl In Old Leipzig. The Precise Date Was May 22; And Owing To Many Causes The 16th Of August Came Round Before, At The Church Of St. Thomas, The Child Was Christened Wilhelm Richard Wagner. The Events And Circumstances Of The Period Have Furnished The Imaginative With Many Striking Portents With Regard To The Future Mighty Composer; And, To Do The Prophets Full Justice, After The Event--Long After The Event--They Have Widely Opened Their Mouths And Uttered Prophecies. Thus The Name Of The House, Describing A Beast Such As Never Was On Sea Or Land, Distinctly Warned A Drowsy People That The Monstrous Dragon Of _Siegfried_ Was About To Take The Road Leading From Nowhere To Bayreuth. The Spring Foretold The Songs In _Tannhäuser_ And The _Valkyrie_; The Summer, The Nights In King Mark's Cornish Castle-Garden And Amongst The Fragrant Lime-Trees In The Streets Of Ancient Nuremberg; The Horrors Of The War Raging At The Very Gates Of Leipzig And Napoleon's Flight, The Advent Of The Preacher Who Was To Earn A Long Exile By Advising The Saxon Soldiers Not To Shoot Their Brethren. Events Provided Material For These And Many Another Score Of Prognostications: Only, Fortunately, No One Read Events Rightly At The Time, And Something Fresh Was Left For The Biographers To Expend Their Ingenuity Upon.

The German Musical Genius Richard Wagner (1811-1883) Could Be Considered To Be One Of The Ideological Fathers Of Early 20th Century German Nationalism. He Was Well-Suited For This Role. Highly Intelligent, Sophisticated, Complex, Capable Of Imagining Whole Systems Of Humanistic Philosophy, And With An Intense Need To Communicate His Ideas, He Created Great Operas Which, In Addition To Their Artistic Merits, Served The Peculiar Role Of Promoting A Jingoistic, Chauvenistic Kind Of Germanism. There Are Things In His Operas That Only A German Can Fully Understand, Especially If He Would Like To See His Country Closed Off To Outsiders. It Is Unlikely, However, That Wagner Expected These Ideas To Achieve Any Popularity. Time And Again He Rails Against Philistines, Irrational People And Politicians In His Letters. With Great Exasperation And Often Depression He Expressed Little Hope That His Country Would Ever Emerge Out Of Its "Philistinism" And Embrace "Rational" Ideas Such As He Propagated. Add To This The Great Difficulties He Had In Getting His Works Performed, And One Might Assume That He Felt Himself To Be Composing, Most Of The Time, To Audiences Of Bricks. Yes, His Great, Intensely Beloved Friend Liszt Believed In, Fully Understood, And Greatly Appreciated Wagner's Works, But Liszt Was Just One In A Million, And Even He, As Wagner Suggested, Associated With A Base Coterie Incapable Of Assimilating Wagnerian Messages. Considering The Sorry State Of Music And Intellectualism In Wagner's Time And Setting, He Surely Would Have Been Surprised If His Operas And His Ideas Achieved Any Wide Currency. That He Continued To Work With Intense Energy To Develop His Ideas, To Fix Them Into Musical Form And To Propagate Them, While Knowing That Probably No Sizeable Population Would Ever Likely Take Note Of Them, And While Believing That His Existence As An Underappreciated, Rational Individual In An Irrational World Was Absurd And Futile, Is A Testimony To The Enormous Will-Power Of This "Ubermensch."
