Excerpt from A Guide to the Ring of the Nibelung: The Trilogy of Richard Wagner Its Origin, Story, and Music To endeavor to say much that is new or original about "The Ring of the Nibelung" would be a rash undertaking at this day. This little book is not such an undertaking. Its presentation of the origin, source, and musical structure of Wagner's great trilogy is founded largely upon the labors of others. The author acknowledges a deep indebtedness to Hans von Wolzogen's thematic analysis, to Mr. Henderson's and Mr. Finck's biographies of the master, to Miss Weston's discussion of the legends, to Mr. Krehbiel's "Studies," and to other works in less degree.

Today, more than a century after its first performance, Richard Wagner's The Ring of Nibelung endures as one of the most significant artistic creations in the history of opera. This monumental work not only altered previously accepted concepts of music and drama but also inspired creative and intellectual efforts far beyond the field of opera. Previous studies of the Ring have appealed only to those already acquainted in some way with the Wagnerian art. For the uninitiated, Wagner and his landmark creation have seemed forbidding, and those eager to learn about the masterpiece have faced a vast and frequently esoteric body of commentary. Professor Cord addresses the interests of the non-specialist by taking the reader first into Wagner's unique intent, and then through the complete history of the Ring. Cord, who has attended forty performances of the Ring, considers the conception of the poem, its development into a music-drama exemplifying Wagnerian thought, its introduction to the world, and the reactions and interpretation it elicits.
