Wagner work directory

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wagner Works Directory (WWV) is a directory of all musical works by the composer Richard Wagner , which was compiled by John Deathridge, Martin Geck and Egon Voss as part of the complete edition of Richard Wagner's works and published by Schott-Verlag in 1986.

The directory contains well-founded evidence - e.g. B. on the time of creation - on all drafts, sketches and first writings of Wagner's texts as well as on the execution of the composition, differentiated according to sketches, score, piano reduction, etc., as well as information on the published editions of the works, and explanations of the origin and performance practice of the 113 works .

Other works

The catalog raisonné includes all works that Wagner can be shown to have put on paper, even if some of them have been lost or - like some early works - were destroyed by Wagner himself. No. 1 in the catalog raisonné is Wagner's first dramatic attempt, Leubald's tragedy in five acts , which was premiered late in 1989 by the Bayreuth studio theater . The WWV also includes small occasional compositions such as album sheets, dedications (e.g. album sheet for Betty Schott , WWV 108), fragments or texts intended for composition, which Wagner then did not translate into music (e.g. Jesus von Nazareth , WWV 80 or Wieland the blacksmith , WWV 82). There are also some arrangements of works by other composers, such as Christoph Willibald Gluck's Iphigenie en Aulide (WWV 77), which was the most performed version on all European stages for decades, also an arrangement of Mozart's Don Giovanni (WWV 83), and much more.
