Wagner

Richard Wagner, born in Leipzig, Germany, was a revolutionary Romantic composer. He is renowned for his music dramas, including "The Ring of the Nibelung" and "Tristan und Isolde," which feature his innovative use of leitmotifs and Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"). His complex harmonies and dramatic orchestration profoundly influenced Western classical music.
