{"product_id":"i-saw-the-world-end-9780193153189","title":"I Saw the World End","description":"Wagner's Ring is a great masterpiece. But because of the work's rich complexity it is difficult to think sensibly about its text and music. Deryck Cooke, author of The Language of Music and completer of Mahler's Tenth Symphony, displays his masterly common sense in this study of how and why The Ring took the shape it did. It is only a portion of the enormous book he had planned: his untimely death prevented his writing an analysis of the music. But it covers the first two operas of the cycle ( Rheingold and The Valkyrie ) and even as it stands gives a fresh understanding and appreciation to every lover of Wagner's music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deryck Cooke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.48w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780193153189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe late \u003cstrong\u003eDeryck Cooke\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Language of Music\u003c\/em\u003e, completed Mahler's Tenth Symphony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarendon Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39929234587763,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_905bdfee-14e7-4474-a4f7-ac2314437130.jpg?v=1647612266","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/i-saw-the-world-end-9780193153189","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
