The Case of Wagner is Friedrich Nietzsche’s book Der Fall Wagner, presented with the subtitle “A Musician’s Problem.” Its explicit subject is Wagner, and its subtitle frames that subject as a problem connected with music. The source identifies the work as a book by Nietzsche and gives its German title, English title, and subtitle, but does not provide a chapter outline or specify the book’s conclusions. This catalogue description therefore confines itself to the stated facts: a philosophical work named for Wagner, defined bibliographically by its German title and musical subtitle, and associated with Nietzsche’s stated range of interests in music, aesthetics and cultural criticism.

Originally published in 1888, The Case of Wagner belongs to the area of Nietzsche’s work concerned with music, aesthetics and culture. The extract also records Richard Wagner among the diverse sources connected with Nietzsche’s writing.
