Wilhelm Richard Wagner, German Composer

Wilhelm Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer, conductor, theater director remembered primarily his operas. Wagner's compositions are notable for their complex texture, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs: musical themes associated with individual characters, places, ideas or plot elements. Unlike most other opera composers, Wagner wrote both the music and libretto for every one of his stage works
