Introduction to Leitmotifs
Channel: Wagner Leitmotifs
Date: 19/09/2013

in which I discuss Leitmotifs, what they are, and how they're used.  

On this channel I am cataloguing the Leitmotifs Wagner used in his operas; numbered in order of appearance.  Links to the related leitmotifs are provided in the videos' descriptions.

I may go on to document leitmotifs in other works, not by Wagner.
