8808Used; Like New/Used; Like New. Large photographic portrait of Richard Wagner with his son Siegfried and added in collage Siegfried's daughter Friedelind inscribed to Arturo Toscanini and signed below the image by Friedelind Wagner "Mausi" and on behalf of her deceased father "Siegfried" and with a clipped facsimile of Wagner's partial signature laid down to the left of Siegfried's signature dated 25 March 1944. The mount with two corners cracked and professionally repaired. Still fragile but well stabilized. <br><br><br />A birthday card from the Wagners to Toscanini born March 25 in exile in New York during the war "To our very dear friend Arturo". It was 13 years since he had appeared at the Bayreuth Festival and they had not forgotten him and the phenomenal impact he made in 1930 and 31. In 1940 he spared no expense or effort in sponsoring Friedelind "Mausi" to seek refuge in the United States.<br><br><br />For the Italian Maestro Wagner always held a special status: he inaugurated his first appointment at La Scala in 1898 with Die Meistersinger and made his final public appearance in 1954 with an all-Wagner program. The anti-fascist conductor's affinity for this music was such that he was even asked by Hitler to the lead the Bayreuth Festival founded by Wagner himself. Toscanini promptly refused and never returned to the Festival. unknown books

Very rare.<br /> <br /> Vladimir Wagner 1849-1934 was a Russian psychologist and naturalist known for his studies of comparative and evolutionary psychology. The main idea of his works of 1910s and 1920s was of comparative genetic method of studying psyche in zoopsychology. Wagner's original concept about patterns of emergence and development of psychic abilities in evolutionary process of animal world presents an important contribution to study of comparative psychology as it gives a complex vision of psychic displays at all stages of evolution. Today Wagner's comparative method based on evolutionary theory is still of a current value. His studies constituted zoopsychology as an independent scientific branch of psychology.<br /> <br /> In 1924 Wagner began to produce works united by a common theme: «The Emergence and Development of Psychic Abilities». Total number of such issues was 9 the last released in 1929. These are the first third and fifth issues.<br /> <br /> The psychic manifestations of animals and men were considered by Wagner as a system whose constituent parts instinct emotions mind mutually penetrate each other and condition each other's evolution. He showed that at the same time they are different abilities which were differentiated from one process - a reflex. This provision was later developed by Ladygina-Kots see our winter catalogue 2017. Wagner considered the development of mental abilities in the evolution process depending on the type of nervous system in invertebrates and vertebrates. He showed that psychic abilities are a factor in the transformation of organisms.<br /> <br /> Wagner was a darwinist and he carried out his darwinism through his studies. In 1896 he defended his PhD dissertation in which he for the first time in Russian zoology raised a serious question of studying animal's psyche and so became one of the founders of Russian zoopsychology or comparative psychology. He systematized its theoretical problems gave a clear definition of the field of practical application which led to emergence of Russian zoopsychology. He introduced an objective biological method based on three methods which made it possible to exclude subjectivism from research: determining the type of given instinct and its vibrations phylogenetic and ontogenetic methods. In the history of Russian comparative psychology Wagner's method represents the first experience of combining various data to determine the psychological nature of the activity of animals at different stages of evolution. Later this method was used by Ladygina-Kots Vygotsky Voitonis Fabry et al.<br /> <br /> Wagner's studies of the instinctive activity of invertebrate animals were highly appreciated both by foreign researchers and by Russian psychologists. In 1929 Wagner published his work «Psychological Types and Collective Psychology» which was banned and put away to closed archive 'spetskhran'. After his death the<br /> originality of his ideas in the study of instincts led to unjust accusations of idealism and vitalism and distortion of his conclusions. In Soviet times Pavlov's studies became canonical 'the only right' and everything different from it was never a subject of a wide research. Despite the fact that modern science does not consider instinct as a separate psychic ability the data collected by Wagner - on the instinctive behavior of animals - are of undoubted interest.<br /> <br /> First issue located in National Library of Medicine and Teacher's College of Columbia University. unknown

1910895P4DLondon; New York: William Heinemann; Doubleday page 1910-11. First edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 10" by 7.5". Arthur Rackham. A beautifully and colourfully illustrated copy of Richard Wagner's epic four epic opera dramas illustrated throughout by Arthur Rackham with tipped-in colour plates scarce to see in their original dust wrappers. The first editions first impression.Both volumes are in their scarce original unclipped dust wrappers.Complete in two volumes.'The Rhinegold and the Valkyrie' illustrated with a tipped-in colour frontispiece and thirty-three tipped-in colour plates.'Siegfried and the Twilight of the Gods' illustrated with a tipped-in colour frontispiece and twenty-nine tipped-in colour plates.'Arthur Rackham Exhibition' advertising slip loosely inserted.Collated complete.These two volumes contain Richard Wagner's four epic music dramas the series being titled 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' or 'The Ring of the Nibelung' or simply the 'Ring Cycle'. These four are 'Das Rheingold'/'The Rhinegold' 'Die Walkure'/'The Valkyrie' 'Siegfried' and 'Gotterdammerung'/'Twilight of the Gods'. All four dramas are in these two volumes.The four dramas are loosely based on characters from Norse mythology and the Nibelungenlied.The plot of the four dramas revolves around a magical ring that grants the wearer the power to rule the world. It is said that the ring was forged by the Nibelung dwarf Alberich from gold that he stole from the River Rhine's maidens.Wagner wrote the libretto and music over about twenty-six years from 1848 to 1874. He intended them to be performed in a series and the first performance of the cycle opened at the first Bayreuth Festival in 1876. Many believe that the composition and story of this cycle raised the standards of the art form. It is also considered that to put on the cycle is one of the biggest challenges any opera company can undertake. Richard Wagner is well remembered today for his operas which are known for their complex textures rich harmonies and for the fact that he wrote both the libretto and music. His 1857-59 work 'Tristan und Isolde' has been considered to lay the groundwork for classical music in the twentieth century being the start of modern music.Illustrated by Arthur Rackham. Rackham was a book illustrator who illustrated editions of 'The Ingoldsby Legends' 'The Wind in the Willows' 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' and 'Gulliver's Travels' as well as contributing frequently to periodicals. He is considered to be one of the leaders of the 'Golden Age' of book illustrations.Translated from German to English by Margaret Armour a Scottish translator poet and novelist. She also translated worked by Gustav Legerlotz and Heinrich Heine. In the original publisher's cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrappers. Externally smart.
