Mimomania: Music and Gesture in Nineteenth-Century Opera - California Studies in 19th-Century Music
Mary Ann Smart
When Nietzsche dubbed Richard Wagner 'the most enthusiastic mimomaniac' ever to exist, he was objecting to a hollowness he felt in the music, a crowding out of any true dramatic impulse by extravagant poses and constant nervous movements. This book takes his accusation as an invitation to listen to Wagner's music.
