Music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked "very animated" - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In Wagner's own words - "awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life. In a letter addressed to "My dear Liszt," dated May 1852, Richard Wagner writes. "It was you who awakened the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life. " He was referring to a performance of his opera Lohengrin which Franz Liszt conducted at the Weirner Court Theatre on August 28, 1850. The letter was sent from Zurich, since Wagner was exiled from Germany at this time. He had completed his romantic opera, Lohengrin, some five years earlier but doubted whether he would ever hear it performed. The action takes place in Antwerp in the first half of the 10th century. Elsa and Lohengrin are to be married and the 3rd Act opens as they proceed in great splendour, accompanied by their respective noblewomen and noblemen, to the cathedral. As a Prelude to the curtain rising Wagner unleashed music of enormous excitement and expectation - marked "very animated" - with brass blazing a powerful call against a tingling triplet figure in support. In the opera this magnificent Prelude leads directly into the Bridal Scene as Elsa and Lohengrin make their way solemnly to the betrothal ceremony. Wagner achieves this change of mood and atmosphere most skillfully. In arranging the Prelude for concert performance the challenge was to provide an ending which provides a satisfactory climax to Wagner's blaze of instrumental colour, without proceeding to the solemn betrothal music. This was resolved by using the composer's own mighty flourish to end Act I of his opera. Now, the gauntlet is thrown down to all who perform it to - in Wagner's own words - "awaken the mute lines of this score to bright surrounding life.

Musiek van 'n enorme opwinding en verwagting - gemerk "baie geanimeerde" - met koper brandende 'n kragtige oproep teen 'n tintelende drieling figuur in ondersteuning. In Wagner se eie woorde - "wek die stom lyne van hierdie telling te helder omliggende lewe. In 'n brief gerig aan "My liewe Liszt," gedateer Mei 1852, Richard Wagner skryf. "Dit was jy wat die stomme lyne van hierdie telling te helder omliggende lewe gewek. "Hy het verwys na 'n opvoering van sy opera Lohengrin wat Franz Liszt uitgevoer by die Weirner Court Theatre op 28 Augustus 1850. Die brief is van Zurich gestuur, omdat Wagner is verban uit Duitsland in hierdie tyd. Hy het sy romantiese opera, Lohengrin, sowat vyf jaar gelede voltooi, maar twyfel of hy ooit sal hoor dit uitgevoer. Die aksie vind plaas in Antwerpen in die eerste helfte van die 10de eeu. Elsa en Lohengrin is om te trou en die Wet op 3 oop as hulle voortgaan in groot prag, vergesel deur hulle onderskeie noblewomen en edelmanne, die katedraal. As 'n voorspel tot die gordyn styg Wagner ontketen musiek van 'n enorme opwinding en verwagting - gemerk "baie geanimeerde" - met koper brandende 'n kragtige oproep teen 'n tintelende drieling figuur in ondersteuning. In die opera lei hierdie pragtige Prelude direk in die bruid toneel as Elsa en Lohengrin maak hul pad plegtig tot die verlowing seremonie. Wagner mees bekwaam bereik hierdie verandering van stemming en atmosfeer. In die reël van die Prelude vir konsert prestasie die uitdaging was 'n einde wat 'n bevredigende klimaks Wagner se vlam van instrumentale kleur te gee, sonder om voort te gaan om die plegtige verlowing musiek. Dit is opgelos deur die gebruik van die komponis se eie magtige floreer tot einde Wet Ek van sy opera. Nou, is die uitdaging neergegooi aan almal wat dit doen om - in Wagner se eie woorde - "wakker die stom lyne van hierdie telling te helder omliggende lewe.
