Music of Wagner

Successive peaks of blue, green, red and gold rise above a tiny church. Plate W, Music of Wagner, represents the authors’ claimed vision of an organ performance as a mountainous structure. Its broad bands convey sections of music rather than individual notes. The source does not identify a particular Wagner composition or the individual plate artist.
