Tristan's Shadow : Sexuality and The Total Work Of Art After Wagner.

Wagner's theories of Gesamtkunstwerk are well-known to be influential. Less well-known are his theories about sexuality in and out of art. This book examines the overlapping influence of these ideas on the music of the following generations, including the works by Strauss, Zemlinsky, Schreker, and d'Albert. With an introduction, notes and index.
