My Life — Volume 2
"My Life — Volume 2" by Richard Wagner is an autobiography dictated between 1865 and 1880. Commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria, Wagner recounts his tumultuous career, friendships, and controversies with surprising frankness. This volume continues his story through the European musical world of the mid-nineteenth century. Originally printed in tiny private editions, the memoir's restricted circulation sparked rumors about its contents. Wagner's readable prose reveals his subjective views of contemporaries and rivals, making it both a vital historical source and a deeply personal testament.
