| | 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's chromatic musical language prefigured later developments in European classical music, including extreme chromaticism and atonality. |

| | Star Wars and Wagner's Ring |
| | Wagner was not the originator of the idea and use of leitmotifs, but he was the composer who perfected the compositional technique of making the leitmotifs the basis of a large, musical structure. | | | In Wagner, the easily recognizable musical leitmotif is not only a structural building block, it is equally important as a musical symbol for something non-musical. | | | Not so in Wagner, where the orchestra has no secondary role, but partakes in the musical totality, even the dramatic totality as complete equal to what is seen and heard from the stage. |

| | 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. |

| | It is with these interests I began listening to different recordings of Wagner Rings, and Wagner operas, in general. | | | I think the answer among listeners can only be a subjective one, and the reason for that is this: This man Wagner wrote a work that (especially at that time) could never adequately transfer from the imagination to the stage. | | | I am also an avid listener, and am interested in the problems of interpretation as they apply to different mediums (stage, concert, recording). |

| | 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. |

| | As we look back on the first century after Wagner, it often seems as if the necrophilic shadow aspects of our collective psyche have had the upper hand. | | | The theme of redemption by love is certainly there, as are themes of life-denial, related to Wagner's admiration of Schopenhauer. | | | Richard Wagner, His Life, His Work, His Century. |

| | Richard Wagner Opera Composer |
| | The foundation of Wagner's philosophy of musical drama is the concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk," or "universal artwork." He held that music in a dramatic setting was best used to reinforce dramatic content and expression. | | | Through his teens he was increasingly attracted to composing. | | | Wagner is acknowledged as the master of German opera, and one of the most progressive composers in history. |

| | 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'. |

| | 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. |

| | Basically we are going to have to slog through his theoretical writings, his letters and his second wife’s diaries. | | | Apart from his style, Wagner’s ideas require substantial effort to grasp - And, in order to understand his antisemitism you have to see it in terms of the rest of his thought. | | | Wagner could be an incredibly prolix and obscure writer when he wanted to be (which was most of the time). |
