Excerpt from Beethoven: A Character Study, Together With Wagner's Indebtedness to BeethovenOn reaching manhood, he found a world in transition, he realized that he was on the threshold of a new order of things, and with ready prescience took advantage of such as could be utilized in his art. Through Beethoven the resources of the orchestra were increased, an added range was given the keyboard of the piano, the human voice was given tasks that at the time seemed impossible of achievement. He established the precedent, which Wagner acted on later, of employing the human voice as a tool, an instrument, to be used in the exigencies of his art, as if it were a part of the orchestra.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
