瓦格纳的字母之旅(七)

A to Z of Wagner(Ⅶ)

我们来到字母之旅最后一站。U代表教养,在各种意义上,瓦格纳都是自我创造的,但他混乱的亲子关系有着十分有趣的影响。V代表着瓦尔基里是布伦希尔德的八位女武神姐妹,她们入场时的音乐可能是有史以来最著名的经典。w代表的是瓦格纳在拜罗伊特为自己建造的别墅,在那里,如他所述:"我的痴妄寻到了安宁"。最后,我们的字母之旅在打盹与梦呓中结束。

We have arrived at our last stop of the alphabetical glossary of Wagner.U is for Upbringing:Wagner was in every sense self-created,but confusion over his paternity continues to raise interesting questions.V is for Valkyrie:Briinnhilde's eight warrior sisters,whose entrance is heralded by possibly the most famous piece of classical music ever.W is for Wahnfried,the villa the composer built for himself in Bayreuth,where,as he had it, 'my delusions have found peace.' X,Y and Zzzzz...Our year-long alphabetic voyage round Wagner ends with a snooze...if you dare.
