Abstract

A little-noticed passage from Moritz Hauptmann’s 1853 treatise Die Natur der Harmonik und der Metrik very nearly describes the opening progression of Wagner’s Tristan . The present paper surveys the various analyses of the Tristan chord presented in the theoretical literature and defends an analysis derived from Hauptmann as a viable alternative. Un passage peu remarqué du traité de Moritz Hauptmann, Die Natur der Harmonik und der Metrik , offre une description qui pourrait presque décrire la progression initiale de Tristan de Wagner. Cet article survole différentes analyses de l’accord de Tristan publiées dans la littérature spécialisée, et défend les mérites d’une nouvelle interprétation dérivée de celle d’Hauptmann.
