Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents Wagner's Faustian understanding of Beethoven's Ninth -- The impact of the Ninth on the Flying Dutchman -- Wagner, thematic dispersion, and contrary motion -- Schumann, thematic dispersion, and contrary motion -- Late Schumann, Wagner, and Bach -- Brahms's triple response to the Ninth -- Wagner and Schumann.
Summary "Reynolds shows that the stylistic advances made by Richard Wagner and Robert Schumann in 1845-46 stemmed from a deepened understanding of Beethoven's techniques and strategies in the Ninth Symphony, particularly the use of counterpoint involving contrary motion. The trail of influences that Reynolds explores extends back to the music of Bach and ahead to Tristan and Isolde, as well as to Brahms's First Symphony."--Provided by publisher.
