Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer known for his significant contributions to the world of classical music, particularly in the realm of opera. His music is characterized by its grandiosity, lush orchestration, and intricate use of leitmotifs (recurring musical themes associated with specific characters, objects, or ideas). Wagner created piano transcriptions of some of his own opera excerpts. These allowed for the piano to capture the essence of his larger orchestral compositions. Examples include piano arrangements "Tristan und Isolde" prelude and the "Meistersinger von Nürnberg" overture.
