Reading Opera between the Lines: Orchestral Interludes and Cultural Meaning from Wagner to Berg - New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism

A characteristic feature of Wagnerian and post-Wagnerian opera is the use of substantial orchestral links between scenes and before a closed curtain. These interludes often take on very prominent roles, representing dream sequences, journeys and sexual encounters. Christopher Morris investigates the implications of these important but strangely overlooked passages.
