This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883), German composer of the Romanticism era, primarily of Opera (though he also produced a distinguished, melancholy song-cycle, the Wesendonck-Lieder). Wagner was highly influential in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, promoting a great increase in full orchestration and chromaticism in musical language (leading to the typically "lush" Late Romantic sound), the development of nationalistic styles, and the popularizing the use of themes and motifs (Leitmotif) to represent ideas and characters. His copious writings also promoted developments in the stagecraft of his period, developing the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk or "total art work" as a fusion of all elements of a performance, words, dance, music, staging, and so on, to form a single unified experience. Being a man of consequences, eventually he wrote, composed, stage-designed, directed AND conducted his operas himself. |
