Inhalt:
Opera's greatest love story, set to music of incomparable beauty, Tristan und
Isolde represents one of the nineteenth century's most revolutionary scores.

Wagner's 1865 adaptation of a popularmedievallegend changed the course of
musical history and opened the door to twentieth-century innovations.
Inspired by an illicit passion of his own, Wagner filled this tale of a
doomed romance with a sense ofdesperatelonging, conveyed by his blending of
tonality, blurring of keys, and innovative use of repetitive leitmotifs.

This reprint of Richard Kleinmichel's authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel
edition is ideal forrehearsals andperformances by students, amateurs, and
professional vocalists, pianists, and conductors.

Please note that the lyrics appear in the original German only.
