To be sure, he was considered a happy family man in his later years, though he still possessed a conspicuous capacity for fantasising about acts of violence. Perhaps, like Goethe’s Faust, two souls dwelt in his breast. When he was a young man, he once threatened to plunge a sharp knife through the heart of his partner Minna Planer; his enthusiasm for the (violent) revolution of 1849 and his involvement in it are well known; and in his writings he took delight in conjuring up compulsive fantasies as part of his urge to shape a better world. It would nevertheless be methodologically unsound to use his life to draw direct conclusions about his work, even though ‘seasoned scientists sometimes think of a cauldron of seething emotions whenever the name Wagner is mentioned’. Wagner himself on several occasions admitted that he was quick to become agitated, and he also made a connection between his work and his own nature: ‘[My] art is very much connected with my life. My character will probably always be marked by extreme, highly conflicting moods’, he once said.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis article is free.
