“太阳神,到目前为止,已经分别以右手给了我们诗歌的天才,以左手给了我们音乐的天才;可是我们依然热切地等待一个人,他集这两种才艺于一身:他能自己写歌剧,又能自己谱曲。”到今天我们已经无人考证,究竟是这段话使瓦格纳出了名,还是瓦格纳使这段话出了名。但是一点可以肯定,瓦格纳就是说这段话的人——吉恩·保罗——所期待的人。 “The Sun God, so far, has given us the genius of our poetry with the right hand and the genius of our music with the left hand, but we are still waiting eagerly for one man who combines both talents: he can write it himself Opera, but also compose their own music. ”Today we have no one textual research, whether this passage made Wagner’s name, or Wagner made the passage of this name. But one thing is certain, Wagner is the person who said this - Jean Paul - people looking forward to.
