Fourteenth Grand Sunday Night Concert
Richard Wagner Programme
Metropolitan Opera House, Sun, February 25, 1906
Fourteenth Grand Sunday Night Concert
Richard Wagner Programme
* Note in Program: This is the Prelude to Act III of Tannh?user as it was originally composed by Richard Wagner. After writing it, Wagner substituted the Prelude which is now played as introduction to the Third Act of the opera, and is known as "Tannh?user's Pilgrimage." It is a much shorter composition.
Wagner made the change because he feared that his audience might fail to appreciate the significance of certain orchestral phrases, descriptive of occurrences which are only referred to subsequently, in the course of Tannh?user's narrative.
In the original version, which will be played for the first time in America at this concert, the composer deals largely with the climax of the Pilgrimage episode - the curse pronounced upon Tannh?user by the Pope - an event scarcely hinted at in the later version.
