Concentrating on the music, politics, and philosophy of Richard Wagner, Lydia Goehr addresses some fundamental questions of German Romanticism: Is all music musical?  Is music made less musical by the presence of words? What is musical autonomy?  How do composers avoid censorship?  How are composers affected by exile?  Can music articulate a 'politics for the future'?  What is the relation between music and philosophy?
