Wagner, (Wilhelm) Richard

Wagner, (Wilhelm) Richard, great German composer whose operas, written to his own librettos, have radically transformed the concept of stage music, postulating the inherent equality of dramatic and symphonic writing and establishing the uninterrupted continuity of the action; b. Leipzig, May 22,1813; d. Venice, Feb. 13,1883. The antecedents of his family, and his own origin, are open to controversy. His father was a police registrar in Leipzig who died when Wagner was only 6 months old. His mother, Johanna (Rosine), née Pätz, was the daughter of a baker in Weissenfels; it is possible also that she was an illegitimate offspring of Prince Friedrich Ferdinand Constantin of Weimar. Eight months after her husband’s death, Johanna Wagner married the actor Ludwig Geyer on Aug. 28, 1814. This hasty marriage generated speculation that Geyer may have been Wagner’s real father; Wagner himself entertained this possibility, pointing out the similarity of his and Geyer’s prominent noses; in the end he abandoned this surmise. The problem of Wagner’s origin arose wit

Wilhelm Richard Wagner (VAHG-nər;^[1]^[2]German:[ˈʁɪçaʁtˈvaːɡnɐ]^ⓘ; 22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, essayist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), whereby he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. The drama was to be presented as a continuously sung narrative, without conventional operatic structures like arias and recitatives. He described this vision in a series of essays published
