Unlike most other great opera composers, Wagner always wrote the scenario and libretto for his works himself. Wagner's compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their contrapuntal texture , rich chromaticism harmonies and orchestration , and elaborate use of leitmotifs : musical themes associated with specific characters, locales, or plot elements. Wagner pioneered advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, which greatly influenced the development of European classical music He transformed musical thought through his idea of Gesamtkunstwerk ("total artwork"), the synthesis of all the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, epitomized by his monumental four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (1876). Wagner even went so far as to build his own

   Extractions: In 1834, Wagner became the music director of an opera company in Madeburg. He began concentrating his compositions on operas. In 1835, Wagner began work on his first major opera "Rienzi", but soon had to flee to Prussia because of oustanding debts he could not pay. He ended up in France, where things got so bad, he actually spent some weeks in a debtor's prison. Wagner was introduced by a German friend to the stories of Tannhauser and Lohengrin. From this, Wagner developed an interest in Mythology. One of the operas from Wagner's "The Ring" is "Die Walkure" which is about a woman, Sieglinde who shelters a warrior who becomes her lover, Siegmund (who later on turns out to be her brother). Brunnhilde, the Valkryie (the helper of the Gods and daughter of the God Wotan) helps Siegmund escape against Wotan's wishes. Wotan intervenes and kills Siegmund and punishes Brünnhilde by putting her to sleep on a rock surrounded by fire. The opera ends with Wotan stating that only a hero would be able to pass through the fire to rescue her and become her husband.

He has been classified as an anarchist and a socialist and, simultaneously, as a proto-fascist and nationalist, as a vegetarian and an antisemite... In fact, his name has appeared in connection to almost all major trends in German history of the 19th and 20th centuries. 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. The literary spectrum ranges from theories of opera to political programs. You may catch some of his political ideas from the quotations I have chosen. You may also read what contemporaries and later scholars have written about him In addition to these activities Wagner wrote about 10.000 letters Richard Wagner is undoubtedly one of the leading figures of the 19th century.

His work is without a doubt one of the pillars on which Western music rests. Wagner's life begins in 1813... Richard Wagner's musical legacy rests with only thirteen completed stage works.

His greatest inspiration came from the operatic reforms and ideas of Gluck , and from the German operas of Carl Maria von Weber . By the age of twenty-two, he had finished his first opera and had begun to make notes for his autobiography. Convinced of his greatness, he continued composing and conducting, but meeting with little success. Eventually he became involved with the Dresden revolutionary uprising of 1849, the outcome of which made him a wanted political criminal, and he fled to Switzerland.

Geyer died in 1821, and in 1827 the family returned to Leipzig. Wagner was attracted to the theater at an early age. His first creative effort was a spoken tragedy, Leubald and Adelaide (1828), which was heavily influenced by Shakespeare and Goethe. He decided at once, however, that he must also write music, and he proceeded to teach himself the rudiments of composition, supplementing them with the study of scores. His formal training was briefabout 6 months in 1831-32 with the Leipzig cantor C. T. Weinlig. During the 1830s, Wagner held a series of conducting posts with small theatrical companies, and he wrote two operas, Die Feen (The Fairies, 1834) and
