	Polish Music Journal 4.2.01 - Konieczna: Style and Drama in Paderewski's Manru.
		Another Wagnerian idea is to replace the overture with a brief instrumental introduction that precedes the raising of the curtain; in Manru this introduction lasts for a mere fourteen measures.
		The Wagnerian influence may be noticed in the use of alliteration, for instance in the scene of Manru's dream mentioned above.
		In the Wagnerian model, these traits may undergo transformations or variations in the further course of the work, however each subsequent version is related to, and compared with, the initial form of the motif.

		Although he sang a wide repertory, he excelled in the great Wagnerian bass-baritone roles, singing in Bayreuth from1925-1931, at Covent Garden from 1925-1933 and at the Metropolitan from 1924-1943.
		His Wotan and Hans Sachs long dominated the international operatic scene; he was beyond question the outstanding exponent of these and of numerous other Wagnerian roles, especially the Dutchman.
		The most important part of his recorded legacy consists of the extensive Wagnerian excerpts made in his prime, in which his impeccable enunciation plays an important part in the impression of authority that he conveys.

		Luisanna talked of her husband's unstinting passion for Wagnerian activities in Italy and abroad, and how his desire to find rare editions for study purposes led him to make reproductions of the Bayreuther Blätter (a collection of texts from 1878-1938 in seventy volumes).
		Consequently, even though from outside the world of academic musicology he was regularly invited to conferences and other academic initiatives dedicated to the German composer.
		Interestingly - but in line with the exceptional cultural importance of the Wagnerian phenomenon - several leading figures dedicated to researching the Bayreuth composer were from outside musicological academia.

		Leider was one of the great Wagnerian sopranos who also excelled in the lighter roles of Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss and Verdi.
		According to Desmond Shawe-Taylor, “Leider was a splendid artist with a dark-coloured, ample and well-trained voice of lovely quality and a fine-spun legato and purity of phrase that enabled her to excel in Mozart and Italian opera as well as in Wagner.

	Opera - The Wagnerian Aftermath - Part 1
		Since that day when, a quarter of a century ago, Richard Wagner ceased to be a dynamic figure in the life of the world, the history of operatic art has been, save for a few conspicuous exceptions, a barren and unprofitable page; and it has been so, in a considerable degree, because of him.
		We find ourselves confronting a situation that is equally dispiriting to the seeker after valuable achievements in contemporary French opera when we view the performances of such minor personages as Massenet, Bruneau, Reyer, Erlanger, and Charpentier.
		They are all tarred, in a great or small degree, with the Wagnerian stick.

	Felix Draeseke's Symphonia Tragica: Wagnerian"Geist"or Symphonic"Zeitgeist"? - Part 4
		In the first and third movements of the symphony one encounters quite obvious classical, in the sense of standard, formal developmental features, whereas the second and fourth movements seem to arise from much expanded and freer notions of design.
		In regard to this Draeseke may have been consciously setting up a polarity between the Beethovenian and Wagnerian in his considerations, a polarity which certainly can be observed in much of Bruckner, particularly in the Eighth Symphony, even though its scherzo is placed second.
		One might even say Wagnerian Geist is a major part of the symphonic Zeitgeist of the time and that symphonists like those mentioned above were offering their own incidents of synthesis to the interaction of then current musical practices.

	Island of Freedom - Richard Wagner
		The last of the Wagnerian music dramas, Parsifal was produced for the first time on July 26, 1882.
		Particularly Wagnerian was the theme of fall and redemption, which recurs in all of the mature works except the comic Die Meistersinger.
		Although Wagner varied his treatment in each opera, the means of redemption is typically some combination of increased awareness on the part of the flawed male protagonist and the love and instinctive vision of his female counterpart.

		In her preface to The Wagnerian Romances, Cather wrote, "I first came upon this book when I was staying in a thinly peopled part of the Southwest, far enough from the Metropolitan Opera House" (viii).
		Woodress reports that Cather spent about ten days in New Mexico during her 1912 visit to the Southwest (11), and since Hall's book was first published in 1907, Cather could have discovered it during this visit.
		Cather thought Wagner's operas different: "It happens that in the Wagnerian music-drama the literary part of the work is not trivial, as it is so often in operas, but is truly the material of music, done by the same hand" (Preface viii).

		Because Wagner liked the English, and the Englishwoman Winifred resembled the ideal Wagnerian heroine in appearance, Hitler expressed admiration and even a fondness for Great Britain and especially Ireland, which, after all, was the home of Tristan.
		But Wagnerian rapture has already ensnared two Germanic rulers, and this consuming passion endures and continues to enthrall some people just as strongly as it repels others.
		The Wagnerian controversy does not endure just in Israel; Wagner's aesthetic has been a subject of debate for over a century now, with music lovers, conductors, singers, authors, and politicians as polarized today as they were during Wagner's own lifetime.

		Score with Wagner's dedication to Judith Gautier (daughter of the writer Théophile Gauthier) and to Catulle Mendés, her husband, a writer.
		Although most of the French musicians of the nineteeth century were fond of Richard Wagner's music (1813-1883), it wouldn't be fair to say that they copied him note to note; the richness of the wagnerian harmony and orchestration was like a catalysis and an incentive for their own personal artistic development.
		Here we would like to quote François Lesure when he says about the wagnerian influence on French composers : "Wagner has enhanced the dramatic forces and permitted to release a more imaginative creativity from most of these musicians."
