Richard Wagner

German composer who created the music drama — the Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) combining music, poetry, and visual spectacle — in operas including Tristan und Isolde, the Ring cycle, Parsifal, and Die Meistersinger — and who was Nietzsche's model of genius before becoming his symbol of decadence.
