  • The Case of Wagner (Der Fall Wagner) is a German book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1888. Subtitled "A Musician's Problem", it has also been known as "The Wagner Case" in English. It is a critique of Richard Wagner and the announcement of Nietzsche's rupture with the German artist, who had involved himself too much, in Nietzsche's eyes, in the Völkisch movement and antisemitism. His music is no longer represented as a possible "philosophical affect", and Wagner is ironically compared to Georges Bizet. However, Wagner is presented by Nietzsche as only a particular symptom of a broader "disease" which is affecting Europe, that is nihilism. The book shows Nietzsche as a capable music-critic, and provides the setting for some of his further reflections on the nature of art and on its relationship to the future health of humanity. This work is in sharp contrast with the second part of Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy, wherein he praised Wagner as fulfilling a need in music to go beyond the analytic and dispassionate understanding of music. Prior to Case of Wagner Nietzsche had begun to soften his stance on his one-time friend and mentor in Wagner at Bayreuth (part of the Untimely Meditations). One of the last works that Nietzsche wrote returned to the critical theme of Case of Wagner. In Nietzsche contra Wagner Nietzsche pulls together excerpts from his works to show that he has consistently had the same thoughts about music, only misapplying to Wagner in the earliest works.
  • Le cas Wagner est une œuvre du philosophe allemand Friedrich Nietzsche, publiée en 1888. Elle prend la forme d'une lettre divisée en plusieurs paragraphes numérotées, suivie par deux post-scriptum et un épilogue. À travers Richard Wagner, Nietzsche dessine et critique en creux la décadence de son temps, caractérisée par l'histrionisme, l'hypocrisie morale et la manipulation des masses.
  • Il caso Wagner (Der Fall Wagner, in lingua tedesca) è un libro tedesco di filosofia, opera di Friedrich Nietzsche, originariamente pubblicato nel 1888, con il sottotitolo Il problema di un musicista. È una critica a Richard Wagner ed il preannuncio della rottura dell'amicizia tra il filosofo ed il musicista, reo — a parere di Nietzsche — di essersi lasciato coinvolgere eccessivamente dal movimento völkisch e dall'antisemitismo. La sua musica non è più rappresentata come un "affetto filosofico", e Wagner è ironicamente paragonato a Georges Bizet. Nondimeno, Wagner è presentato solo come un particolare sintomo di una più vasta "malattia" infettante l'Europa, ossia il nichilismo. Al di là degli aspetti più schiettamente polemici, Nietzsche si rivela in quest'opera quale competente critico musicale, e vi si rinvengono altresì le premesse fondative di ulteriori riflessioni sulla natura dell'arte e sulla sua relazione con la futura salute dell'umanità.

  • 《華格納事件》（德文：Der Fall Wagner）是德國哲學家弗里德里希·尼采所著的一本書籍，出版於1888年，副標題為「一個音樂家的問題」。這是本篇幅很小的書，共有序、正文12節，還有2則附言。尼采在書中稱讚比才的音樂而貶抑過去好友華格納及其代表的浪漫主義為頹廢的音樂。他認為華格納是歐洲近代文化疾病的表現，因此做了此書來分析這個「個案」。
