Wagner's melodies sparked one of the most controversial debates in nineteenth-century aesthetics and continue to polarise opinion to this day. Interweaving a wide variety of sources, from private correspondence to court reports, David Trippett's book places Wagner's ideas about melody in the context of the scientific discourse of his age.
