Richard Wagner was a German composer, conductor, and theatre director, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of Western classical music. Born in 1813, Wagner is best known for his operas, particularly for their complex textures, rich harmonies, and profound emotional depth. His works, such as The Ring Cycle, Tristan und Isolde, and The Flying Dutchman, revolutionized opera, integrating music, drama, and stagecraft into a unified art form known as the "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art). Wagner’s music is often characterized by its use of leitmotifs—musical themes associated with specific characters, ideas, or emotions—and his innovations in orchestration and harmony. Beyond his musical achievements, Wagner's ideas and writings, particularly his views on art and politics, have sparked controversy and debate. His influence on later composers, as well as the development of classical music, remains profound.
