Important German composer (1813–1883) who, by expanding harmonic, instrumental, and dramatic forces to a previously undreamed-of degree, single-handedly revolutionized opera and attained status as one of the most influential geniuses in the history of music. AQS on a 4 x 2.25 off-white trimmed card. Wagner quotes the first line from Hamlet's soliloquy, “To be or not to be. Richard Wagner.” Card is affixed to a 5 x 5.5 off-white piece of cardstock, along with the address panel of the original mailing envelope. In very good condition, with scattered toning and soiling to card, not affecting legibility, closely trimmed top edge, and some slight adhesive remants touching a few letters of quote. The influence of Shakespeare on Wagner and his work is evident in his early opera 'Das Liebesverbot', based on Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure.'
