NIETZSCHE, Friedrich Wilhelm (1844-1900). Nietzsche contra Wagner. Aktenstücke eines Psychologen, Leipzig: C. G. Naumann, 1889.
8° (225 x 142mm.), 20th-century morocco, spine lettered in gilt, original front cream printed wrapper bound in (spine sunfaded), t.e.g.
SCARCE FIRST EDITION. Only 100 copies were printed. Nietzsche spent some time in Basel as Professor for Classical Philology, during which time his friendship with Richard Wagner grew. Nietzsche seized every opportunity to visit the composer and his wife, Cosima. Wagner appreciated Nietzsche as a brilliant professorial apostle, but Wagner's increasing exploitation of Christian motifs, as in "Parsifal," coupled with his chauvinism and anti-Semitism, proved to be more than Nietzsche could bear. By 1878 the breach between the two men had become final. Schaberg 57.
