The Echoes of Tristan Chords:Wagner and Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy
The title of Nietzsche's seminal work The Birth of Tragedy in the preface is"To Richard Wagner".The creation of the book was heavily influenced by Wagner,but this thread has not been given enough attention in previous studies.Wagner's artistic perspective of reviving Nordic mythology and using it to resist modernity,as well as the aesthetic perspective of tension,conflict,and dissonance embodied in his important masterpiece Tristan und Isolde have had a significant impact on both the writing style and the specific ideas of Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy.H owever,Nietzsche,while strongly praising Wagner in early times,was also prudent to distance himself from Wagner.The subtle differences in their understanding of myth,tragedy,absolute music,Schopenhauer,and Christianity sowed the seeds for the rupture of the relationship between the two men and for Nietzsche's philosophical turn.
