Mai 1875 / III. Wagnerkonzert in Wien" "The immortal muse of Richard Wagner / his art-loving supporter through written/ and spoken word/ warmly / David Popper / Vienna 6 May 1875 / 3. Wagner concert in Vienna".   Contemporary black cloth boards quarter brown leather. Generally in fine internal condition throughout with a few light pencil markings one leaf p. 11/12 with two significant tears; spine covering largely perished boards separating from the block rear board barely holding on. Fuld p. 465; Deathridge Geck and Voss WWV p. 402; Klein p. 51. <br>The present historic copy was inscribed on the occasion of Wagner's conducting portions of Götterdämmerung in concert in Vienna in advance of the the complete opera's Bayreuth premiere in 1876. The publication of this piano vocal score preceded the full score by over a year and the general title page on which Popper has inscribed as well as the half title are common to the full scores of all four Ring operas. As with Siegfried and Parsifal Schott's first edition of Götterdämmerung was issued in lithographed form with only a few mainly presentation copies being issued directly from the engraved plates. <br>One of the most influential cellists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Popper was a student of Julius Goltermann and at age 25 secured the position of principal in the Vienna Hofoper and the Vienna PO the youngest player to hold such a post and later joined the Hellmesberger Quartet. He was in friendly contact with Franz Liszt whose pupil pianist Sophie Menter became Popper's first wife in 1872. This marriage which produced in 1876 a daughter Celeste ended after fourteen years although during that time the couple appeared in countless joint recitals. His acquaintance with Liszt led Popper also to Richard Wagner and in 1873 he became a co-founder of the first ever official Wagner Society the Viennese Wagner-Verband. In 1886 his marriage dissolved Popper was appointed by Liszt as professor at the National Hungarian Royal Acadamy of Music where he established the cello and chamber music divisions. He remained until his death having also served as a member of the Hubay Quartet. A cellist of superior technique and a warm powerful tone Popper was a champion of new music and the composer of more than 75 works mostly for his own instrument. His most important contribution is certainly the Hohe Schule des Violoncello-Spiels a set of 40 studies that examine the positions of the left hand within a highly chromatic Wagner-influenced setting. <br style="">Götterdämmerung is the fourth opera in the Ring cycle. Excerpts were first performed in a concert at the Musikverein in Vienna on March 25 1875; the entire work was first performed as part of the Ring cycle at Bayreuth on August 17 1876. "The final opera of the Ring. provides an appropriately weighty conclusion to the epic cycle. 26 years elapsed from the time Wagner made his first prose draft for the work then called Siegfrieds Tod to the completion of the full score with inevitable consequences in terms of stylistic unity. Retrogressive elements of grand opera exist side by side with motivic integration representative of Wagner's most mature style. And yet the stylistic integrity of Götterdämmerung is scarcely compromised so skillfully are the disparate elements welded together and so intense the dramaturgical conviction. The resources and stamina demanded by the work from both singers and orchestra combined with its sheer length and theatrical potency make it one of the most daunting yet rewarding undertakings in the operatic repertory."

Exceptionally and intimately signed and inscribed by Richard Wagner to a mysterious dedicatee:« Hierbei sollst du meiner gedenken denn alles habe ich ernstlich gemeint. R. W. » At this you shall remember me for I have meant everything seriously. This moving autograph confession with its highly personal tone written on the most important of his theoretical writings radically differs from the hasty ""Zur Erinnerung"" written by the composer on his opera scores or the little notes he used to hand out to patrons after concerts. We did not find any other inscribed copies of Oper und Drama' on the market or in public institutions. However the composer's autobiography and correspondence reveal the existence of two dedications on this major work. The first was addressed to Theodor Uhlig on the original manuscript with an autograph inscription inspired by Goethe. The second and only other inscription mentioned in a letter from Wagner is said to have been made for Malwida von Meysenbug on the same edition as our copy. Although it is not impossible this could be the very same inscription written on the ""book of all books on music"" according to Richard Strauss the style and content of the inscribed words allow for an even more prestigious attribution. A ""VERY SOLID"" MANIFESTO In February 1851 Wagner completed Oper und Drama. This ""very solid book"" - as described in a letter to Franz Liszt - sets out the revolutionary principles of Leitmotiv and Gesamtkunstwerk political and aesthetic utopia of a musical drama acting as a synthesis of the Arts. The text is part of his Zürcher Kunstschriften three seminal essays written during his Swiss exile along with Kunstwerk der Zukunft' and Die Kunst und die Revolution'. He outlines in his treatises the shape of his future scenic festival"" - the celebrated Ring and includes his reflections on the relationship between art and society as well as his theories on the future of opera. In 1868 he decided to complete the composition of this monumental tetralogy and simultaneously worked on the second edition of Oper und Drama' published at the end of 1868 - mistakenly stated on the cover as 1869. In the end it differed from the previous edition only in its new preface the very few changes proving once more the permanence of his musical and artistic vision almost twenty years after it was first written. Wagner will tirelessly defend and promote his ideas which found their ultimate achievement during the 1876 Bayreuth festival. This second corrected edition with a revised preface is an integral part of the artist's creative process giving his reflections the status of a political and musical manifesto as evidenced by the intimate and enigmatic dedication on our copy. The importance of this work in the eyes of the composer the absence of any explicit attribution to the inscription's recipient the use of the familiar form of address and the content of the message confirm the importance of the dedicatee and his place within the author's inner circle. Among the personalities around the master at the time of this inscription several may have inspired these words: FRIEDRICH Friedrich Nietzsch Verlagsbuchhandlung von J.J. Weber paperback
