Wilhelm Richard Wagner was an influential German composer, conductor, music theorist, and essayist, primarily known for his operas (or 'music dramas' as he later came to call them). Wagner's musical style is often considered the epitome of classical music's Romantic period, due to its unprecedented exploration of emotional expression. He introduced new ideas in harmony and musical form, including extreme chromaticism. In Tristan und Isolde, he explored the limits of the traditional tonal system that gave keys and chords their identity, pointing the way to atonality in the 20th century.Halbe composer statuette stands approximately 5 - 5-1/2' high and is made of the finest unbreakable vinyl plastic - it is strong, tough and washable.
