SUMMARY:Six Part Course: “Wagner: Questions of Influence and Originality”
DESCRIPTION:A six-part course \, “Wagner: Questions of Influence and Originality\,” taught by Juilliard Professor John J.H. Muller\, IV. \nThe course poses the question: To what degree is any artist original? What role do the achievements of other artists\, earlier and contemporary\, play in influencing a composer as “original” as Richard Wagner?  Wagner occupies a special position in the history of music\, both for his body of work and for his influence. Wagner’s own development was not linear; the past\, present\, and future of opera are present in all his works. \nSchedule:\nDates are six non-consecutive Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00 p.m. as follows: \nSeptember 11\nSeptember 18\nSeptember 25\nOctober 9\nOctober 16\nOctober 23 \nAll six classes are offered as a series\, not individually\, and the course price is $300 for WSNY members\, and $375 for non-members. \nThe Experience: This course is conceptual in nature\, rather than focusing on a single opera or musical issue – though these will certainly be referred to – nor is it “Wagner 101”. Students will likely have a familiarity with the plots to the works and basic issues relating to Wagner’s career\, dramatic concept\, music\, and achievements. An introduction to Wagner’s musical forbears will be covered in the first session. \nStudents will be provided with handouts and an extensive bibliography for further enrichment. Lectures will be accompanied by audio and video excerpts\, and there will be time for Q&A\, generally at the end of class. \nVenue & Accessibility: Classes will be held in-person only in the MacKay Studio of the National Opera Center\, 330 Seventh Avenue (between 29/28 Streets)\, 7th Floor\, New York\, NY \nThe Opera America building has ground-level entry with elevators to the 7th floor.  Wheelchair accessible; modular seating will be arranged to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Handicap-accessible restrooms are available on the same floor. The venue is located on the west side of 7th Avenue between 28th-29th Streets\, closer to 29th Street. Sidewalk curb cuts at the 29th Street corner are uneven; for easier access and tactile paving enter from the 28th Street corner (at the downtown #1 subway station).
