Richard Wagner. Echte Briefe an Ferdinand Praeger
Published by Grau'sche Buchhandlung, Bayreuth 1894. Richard Wagner's real letters to F. Praeger, with an introduction by Hans von Wolzogen. Parts of this book were first published in the Bayreuther Blätter, see below, here, and here. The second edition was renamed to Richard Wagner an Ferdinand Praeger.
This book was a critique on another book, written by the Jewish-German musician and piano teacher Dr. F. Praeger, Wagner as I knew him, with the correspondence between him and Wagner, published by Longmans & Green, London 1892. According to Chamberlain, the letters were poorly translated (A truly Teutonic kind of English, as the New York Times wrote), and gave an unfair impression of Wagner. After the publication of Chamberlain's version of the correspondence, publisher Breitkopf & Härtel felt obliged to take back and destroy the entire German edition (Wagner, wie ich ihn kannte, Leipzig 1892) of Praeger's book. Meaning that this book is Rare...
George Ainslie Hight noted that In England and America it still seems to be widely read, and is, more than any other single work, responsible for the false notions that are abroad about Wagner. Prof. Field wrote: It is unclear why Praeger should have written so flawed a book. It did contain serious errors of fact and chronology, some of them, admittedly, arising out of problems of translation. Ernest Newman was puzzled by the whole affair and wondered whether the author of it is not to be regarded as a diseased rather than a criminal type. Yet this distorted account of an unbalanced man who wanted to write himself into history was in many respects closer to the truth than the Wahnfried mythology and this is what made it so dangerous (Evangelist of Race, p. 139).
