What struck me most was how horrendous an individual Richard Wagner happened to be despite his extraordinary power as one of the greatest composer/musicians. He was a leech of society who relied on many people for his success and physical comfort especially Ludwig II of Bavaria and the Jews of Germany who were at his beckon call and accounted greatly for his rise to great esteem. He was an anti-semite of the worst order taking advantage of the very people he hated most. HITLER was greatly influenced by his writings degrading the Jews as something beneath contempt. A Horrible Horrible Human Being!
