One of the best arrangements ever.

Greatest music mind ever lived. 10 steps above the others. Thinking he was almost self-tough is just... impossibile

Wagner was most certainly NOT self-taught.

He was only self-taught on piano. Composing is a different story

I could explain, but id rather paste from the Encyclopedia Britannica. I dont wanna waste time. "Impulsive and self-willed, he was a negligent scholar at the Kreuzschule, Dresden, and the Nicholaischule, Leipzig. He frequented concerts, however, taught himself the piano and composition, and read the plays of Shakespeare, Goethe, and Schiller" "Wagner, attracted by the glamour of student life, enrolled at Leipzig University, but as an adjunct with inferior privileges, since he had not completed his preparatory schooling. Although he lived wildly, he applied himself earnestly to composition. Because of his impatience with all academic techniques, he spent a mere six months acquiring a groundwork with Theodor Weinlig, cantor of the Thomasschule; but his real schooling was a close personal study of the scores of the masters, notably the quartets and symphonies of Beethoven"

@@gmnotyet This is after Brünnhilde, the 'main' Walküre, betrays Wotan, god of gods (and her father). Brünnhilde betrays Wotan by protecting humans, as she sees true love in them. Her father, however, priories power to love, and punishes Brünnhilde. His plan is to leave her asleep on top of a mountain so that she will be obliged to be with the first human who finds her. She begs her father not to do that and to, at least, leave a fire circle around her. That way, only the bravest human on earth will be able to free her from her slumber. Wotan, in an outburst of love for his daughter, agrees. He says 'Leb wohl, du kühnes, herrliches Kind'; 'Farewell, you beloved child' (moment unfortunately omitted in this arrangement). Please look that up, even though it's vocal. After a small monologue, Wotan sings: 'Denn einer nur freie die Braut, der freier als ich, der Gott'; 'As only one will free the woman, the one freer than me, the God'. He laments his unavailability to love her daughter, as he must be powerful. That is 22:23 in the arrangement. Anyway, the motive that sounds after the silence and that will be repeated to, eventually, burst like the @nicosuarez6962 said, is the Father-Daughter motive. It is made of Wotan's Power motive (a descendant minor scale), made major and interrupted, only to raise to the 7th (which would have been the next note of the motive an octave lower). This way, Wagner shows how Wotan's power has already been broken with this outburst of love. You can see the whole Wotan Power motive in 28:13. After the explosion, a descending motif sound epically. That's 'Brünnhildes Slumber'. The one in 27:12. Beautiful. Although the fragment is described as 'Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music', the Magic Fire Music is what would come right after 28:13. I highly recommend that moment. It's the brilliant end of Wagner's 'Die Walküre'. He also cut out half of the Farewell. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIOeytpmk6nZeto.html. This starts with the love outburst, continues with the phrases, has the incredible Father-Daughter explosion, the monologue thereafter, and ends with the wonderful Magic Fire Music. All with one of the most wonderful Wagnerian singers, George London; and with one of the greatest Wagnerian conductors, Hans Knappertsbuch. To make it more light, you can search for a translation of the lyrics, and read while you listen. If you've made it this far 😅, thank you for reading, and PLEASE listen to Wagner with vocals. It may be hard at the beginning, but it's an unbelievable pleasure once you understand the lyrics and leitmotifs.
