As an orchestra student, I was taught to appreciate all types of music. Wagner is one of the greatest most influential composers of modern music. Only recently did i learn in Multimedia that he had a great impact on the concepts and ideas of Multimedia. His theory of "Total Art Work" ( combining all forms of art..."or synthesizing, effect of music drama Ð the unification of music, song, dance, poetry, visual arts, and stagecraft.") This idea, when I thought about it, seemed pretty intense. Now in this modern day in age most Americans are too lazy to read the subtitles in a foreign film. To think of all theses elements together would take the adaptation over long periods of time through small steps at a time. The ideas of this Concept is truly amazing when considered in totality.
