It was published under a pseudonym in the Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik (NZM) of Leipzig in September 1850 and was reissued in a greatly expanded version under Wagners name in 1869. It is regarded by many as an important landmark in the history of German antisemitism. The first version of the article appeared in the NZM under the pseudonym of K. Freigedank ("K. Freethought"). In an April 1851 letter to Franz Liszt, Wagner gave the excuse that he used a pseudonym "to prevent the question being dragged down by the Jews to a purely personal level." At the time Wagner was living in exile in Zurich, on the run after his role in the 1849 revolution in Dresden. His article followed a series of essays in the NZM by his disciple Theodor Uhlig, attacking the music of Meyerbeer's opera Le prophete. Wagner was particularly enraged by the success of Le prophete in Paris, all the more so because he had earlier been a slavish admirer of Meyerbeer, who had given him financial support and used his influence to get Wagners early opera Rienzi, his first real success, staged in Dresden in 1841. Wagner was also emboldened by the death of Mendelssohn in 1847, the popularity of whose conservative style he felt was cramping the potential of German music. Although Wagner had shown virtually no sign of anti-Jewish prejudice previously (despite the claims by Rose in his book Wagner, Race and Revolution, and others), he was determined to build on Uhligs articles and prepare a broadside that would attack his artistic enemies, embedded in what he took to be a populist Judaeophobic context.

Famous "Ring" Trilogy composer Richard Wagner argues in this essay that Jewish involvement in European culture always had a negative and distorting impact. Jews, Wagner wrote, did not have the European "folkish soul" required to create genuinely European art, and, as a result, were only imitators who crassly deformed all that they produced. As a result, he said, all art-be it musical or otherwise-from Jewish sources was always shallow and a mockery of true art. Along the way, he discusses the Jewish type, and their broader influence in society. First published in 1850, "Judaism in Music" created a storm which forever earned him the hatred of the Jewish lobby in Germany and elsewhere. Originally issued under a pseudonym, Wagner republished the book in 1869, along with a supplement, under his own name. In the supplement, Wagner discusses the reaction to the original essay's publication, and goes on to discuss how the Jews controlled the major newspapers and theaters of his day, and how the media turned against him after the 1850 essay saw the light of day. This edition also contains Wagner's 1878 essay "What is German," which contains further remarks on Jewish activities within Germany.

Excerpt from Judaism in Music (Das Judenthum in Der Musik) Being the Original Essay Together With the Later Supplement It may be fairly presumed that none will deem the re-issue in English dress of Wagner's "Das Judenthum in der Musik" to imply any desire to revive the matters of controversy therein contained. The lapse of nearly sixty years since publication of the original essay and of forty since Wagner's account to Madarne Muchanoff (and hence to the world) of the consequences attracted to himself by the publication should alone suffice to point unmistakably to the unlikelihood of any such proposition.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2002 im Fachbereich Musik - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Universität zu Köln (Institut für Musikwissenschaft), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar: Richard Wagners "Tristan und Isolde", Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Richard Wagner veröffentlichte den Aufsatz "Das Judentum in der Musik" zwei Mal. Die erste Veröffentlichung im Jahre 1850 erfuhr eine weitaus geringere Resonanz als die zweite von 1869. Der Text gab Anlass zu zahlreichen kontroversen Diskussionen, vor allem, was seinen berühmt-berüchtigten Schluss angeht. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den Text zu analysieren und seine Argumentationsstrukturen zu beleuchten. Dabei soll zumindest ansatzweise dargestellt werden, inwiefern er auf der einen Seite typisch für seine Zeit ist und was ihn auf der anderen Seite sehr besonders macht - trotz aller Verhaftetheit in den zeitgenössischen Kontext. Seine Rezeptionsgeschichte kann aus Platzgründen nur sehr eingeschränkt behandelt werden. Es soll aber deutlich gemacht werden, dass Wagner sich mit diesem Text einen Platz in der Geschichte des Antisemitismus "gesichert" hat, ganz unabhängig von der Frage, inwieweit er damit den Weg für die spätere deutsche Geschichte geebnet hat oder nicht.
