Wagner

[crooner]

the twilight that was mistaken for the dawn
who said this of Wagner?

[Segilla]

I don't know, but Wagner considered that he was composing 'The Music of the Future'. Considering the effect he had and still does have on musical history, he is far from being eclipsed and in my view, (though no longer an uncritical admirer), never will be.
