Germanic legends often based romantic operas of especially known composer Richard Wagner, who worked Tannhäuser (1845) and the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen (1853-1876).

From 1872, Richard Wagner lived at Bayreuth to 1883 and designed the opera house, used chiefly for performances of his works.

Works of Jacques Martin Barzun include Darwin, Marx, Wagner (1941).

Wilhelm Richard Wagner conducted, directed theater, and authored essays, primarily for his later called "music dramas." Unlike most other greats, Wagner wrote the scenario and libretto.

O incercare esuata de a face o filosofie muzicala pe tema geniului lui Beethoven. Se proiecteaza un nationalism extrem -"spiritul german"- si o imagine mult disproportionata (pozitiv) a lui Beetoven. Wagner nu e scriitor!

Un compositor genial (Wagner) escribiendo sobre otro compositor genial y fundamental (Beethoven). Este es el principal aliciente de este breve ensayo. La lectura se hace incómoda por momentos debido al estilo ampuloso y la intención abarcadora del texto, que analiza la obra de Beethoven desde un punto de vista filosófico y estético. Destacaría la poética descricipón del cuarteto nº 14, un pasaje espléndido.
