| description | Richard Wagner began perceiving the world in terms of decay as early as the
mid-1840s and especially during the 1848-49 revolution. He did not critique
the contemporary world (and its accompanying reality) as someone who merely
understood it in his own way. Wagner actually developed his own version of
the world that was meant to become the referential framework for creating an
entirely different reality in the future. The most exhaustive source
concerning Wagner’s idea of the world and reality is his famous letter to
August Röckel, from 25-26 January 1854. In it Wagner put together his earlier
ref lections on reality into a relatively coherent and meaningful whole. He
did it by the means of several different concepts: „the World as a whole“,
„the actual world“, „reality of the world“/„the modern reality“. In this
letter and elsewhere, he failed to elaborate his idea of the world, as well
as to explain its relationship with „the modern reality“ that was undergoing
change. Instead, he developed another idea: that of the artwork which was
supposed to be a sort of mediator between „the actual world“ and „the world
of the future“, as well as between their accompanying realities. Wagner’s
version of the „actual world“ (as well as its appropriate reality) comprised
two components: „the actual world“ itself and the artwork, which was already
changing it. Such a work contained a description of the change, understood in
terms of regeneration, and thus also a prediction of the way reality itself
should change in the future, as well as the direction of the change. |
