The great lord, the mighty pilgrim, who went to the bavarian alps as requested by the king of bavaria "King Ludwig II", they both composed together and their draft left the world in awe. For Wagner music was not just tool to make money, music was something that channeled your inner spirit, your ego, your "persona", you soul. For it was Wagner who delved into the lands of fantasy and created castles in it. The Construction of Neuschwanstein was based on Lohengrin and Influenced Tchaikovsky who later created Swan Lake. It is Wagner alone that influenced post-war and pre-war composers, everyone felt like they have a little bit Wagner in them. "His rivals were many, his equals were none".
Wagner "was", "is", "will be" the greatest musical artist who ever lived on this "inferior" planet.
HAIL WAGNER.
