| | Richard Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wagner's musical style is often considered the epitome of classical music's Romantic period, due to its unprecedented exploration of emotional expression. | | | The premiere of the new Tannhäuser in 1861 was an utter fiasco, due to disturbances caused by aristocrats from the Jockey Club. | | | Wagner dreamt of an "invisible theatre" in which his works could be experienced in the imagination of the listener. |

| | Essentials of Music - Composers |
| | Wagner's music dramas are seamless webs of these musical ideas, with the music itself telling as much of the story as the action on the stage. | | | It is telling that Richard Wagner's artistic beginnings lie in both music and drama. | | | From his earliest works, he began to break away from the structure of separate numbers to one of continuous drama (he ultimately called them music dramas rather than operas). |

| | The Controversy Over Richard Wagner |
| | Most of the audience was in favor of the encore, which received a standing ovation from all but a few of the listeners. | | | The function of music, after all, is to soothe, to make the listener feel good, to stimulate or pacify his or her soul. | | | Without Wagner it is difficult to understand the history of music. |

| | Island of Freedom - Richard Wagner |
| | The verse, which Wagner always wrote himself, was to be compressed, metrically free, and alliterative, dispensing with the end-rhyme that led to closed musical structures. | | | In late 1991, a proposal to play a concert of Wagner's music provoked a great outcry among concentration-camp survivors, and the idea was shelved. | | | On August 13-17, 1876, the premiere performance of the whole tetralogy took place at the Festspielhaus, a theater in Bayreuth designed and constructed especially for the presentation of Wagnerian music dramas. |

| | Wagner, Richard (1813 - 1883) |
| | He developed the use of the Leitmotiv (leading motif) as a principle of musical unity, his dramatic musical structure depending on the interweaving of melodies or fragments of melody associated with characters, incidents or ideas in the drama. | | | His Prelude to the love tragedy Tristan und Isolde led to a new world of harmony. | | | Wagner was a remarkable innovator both in harmony and in the structure of his work, creating his own version of the Gesamtkunstwerk, dramatic compositions in which the arts were brought together into a single unity. |

| | Click here to visit my original Wagner CD cover designs | | | Richard Wagner's musical legacy rests with only thirteen completed stage works. | | | In the early days, productions of Wagner's works reflected the composer's attention to minute detail, and often took their lead from the composer's own hyper-realistic stagings at the Bayreuth Festival theater. |

| | Richard Wagner |
| | Wagner did more than any other composer to change music, and indeed to change art and thinking about it. | | | The house was built at Bayreuth, designed by Wagner as the home for his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ('total art work'- an alliance of music, poetry, the visual arts, dance etc). | | | He continued his musical and polemic writings, concentrating on 'racial purity'. |

| | Richard Wagner: Master of the Music Drama |
| | Richard Wagner is perhaps the most controversial composer who ever lived. | | | Oddly, Wagner's music of the future invariably dramatized either Christian tales of the MiddleAges or the stories of ancient mythology - the lives and loves of its gods and goddesses, its heroes and heroines, its villains. | | | Perhaps it is because as a dramatist steeped in the traditions of Shakespeare and Greek tragedy, he saw these ancient stories which told timeless truths not as tales of fantasy but as a fitting allegory of the human condition. |

| | Wagner inspired not only musicians and composers but artists alike. | | | An interesting and still rather neglected side of Wagner is the memorabilia and popular culture inspired by his character. | | | Besides his activity as a composer and a librettist Wagner wrote an astonishing number of books and articles (this link includes some complete works as hypertext), in fact about 230 titles. |
