Richard Wagner

We do not know how and when and which consciousness Wagner is in when he says, "I know nothing at all about music."

Again, in a letter to Liszt he declares, "Whatever my passions demand of me, I become for the time being — musician, poet, director, author, lecturer or anything else."

Indeed, what Wagner writes is sublimely instructive and unmistakably inspiring.
