Quando una volta torn\u00F2 a piedi a casa dalla Polonia perch\u00E9 gli serviva una tazzina di zucchero per fare le frittelle, la madre decise di sbarazzarsi di lui una volta per tutte. Condottolo al limitare del bosco all\u2019imbrunire, gli bend\u00F2 gli occhi con la scusa di voler giocare a rimpiattino e, dopo averlo fatto girare su se stesso un numero sufficiente di volte, si dilegu\u00F2 nella folta boscaglia. Il povero Wagner, superato lo stordimento iniziale, raggiunse dopo lungo et confuso peregrinare un convento, dove ricevette asilo. Venne mandato a scuola dai pii confratelli, e pass\u00F2 nel dolce nido gli anni pi\u00F9 gai della sua vita. Instaur\u00F2 ben presto un rapporto di profonda amicizia con un compagnuccio di classe, anch'egli orfano e ospite dei monaci: Itolfo Adler. Dapprincipio il due fanciulli usavano scambiarsi piccole note durante le lezioni. A seguito alcuni frammenti giunti fino a noi: Wagner: \"Hasst du auch Juden?\" Traduzione: \"Anche a te stanno simpatici gli ebrei?\" Adler: \"Ach, Jawohl!!\" Trad: Ah, ma certo! Il comune interesse per quest'affascinante popolo li port\u00F2 a passare dolci ore nella biblioteca del convento, dove ricercavano informazioni sui loro usi e costumi. Con l'arrivo della pubert\u00E0 il loro interesse per l'antropologia si acu\u00EC ulteriormente, tanto che non di rado passavano nella biblioteca nottate intere, a nutrirsi di sapere. I due fanciulli non erano tuttavia insensibili al fascino dell'arte; mentre uno si dedicava a dipingere ritratti dell'altro, l'altro componeva sonetti in onore del primo. Nacque cos\u00EC, al termine di un felice scambio di idee sulla cultura semita, la prima composizione impegnata di Riccardo, il sonetto \"F\u00FCr Itolfo\". Ne riportiamo il testo integrale: \"Itolfo, dein Penis ist so lang, es k\u00F6nnte fast ein Meter sein und spritze so viel Sperma wie es rein passen kann.\" Trad: \"Itolfo, se solo le tue Pene, lungamente sofferte, io potessi alleviare, la Speme nel mio cuore giammai non ceder\u00E0.\" Il dolce idillo fin\u00EC con il termine degli studi; gli affiatati compagni di gioco vennero separati. Mentre Itolfo intraprese la carriera militare, Ricchio si risolse per il conservatorio. Grande influenza ebbe per Wagner in questi anni l\u2019ascolto dell\u2019opera Fidelio di Beethoven, nella quale una donna si traveste da uomo per poter visitare il marito in carcere. La storia accese grandemente la fantasia del genio della musica, influenzando la sua produzione seguente e distruggendo affatto ogni scrupolo morale rimastogli. Si dice che in quel periodo Wagner vagasse per la citt\u00E0 in abiti femminili, affermando furbescamente che \"Se pu\u00F2 farlo Beethoven posso farlo anch'io\"."@it . . "Richard Wagner"@de . . .

At the age of seven he appeared as \"Little Dick and Frou-Frou\", a vaudeville routine involving a stuffed reindeer, on the same bill as his uncle Jake Meyerbeer. By the age of fiteen he had been taken under the wing of Franz Liszt, conductor of the Vall\u00E9e Doberman theatre in Linz. His first self-produced show Der Fliegende Hollander (Call me a Dutchman) did well in its off-Broadway run (some way off Broadway as it was in Germany) but there was a serious falling out with choreographer Wilhelmina von B\u00FClow before the end of the run and Wagner peremptorily cut all the tap-dance numbers. \"You think this going to be some fancy classical opry or somepin Dick?\" she recalls asking him in her memoirs. \"My shows gonna be high-tone, no schmaltz, no schlock.\" he replied, and as success strengthened his ambitions he tried to raise the tone of his productions, for instance replacing the saxophone solo in The Valkyries with a cor-anglais, and dropping the Sand-Dance, one of the most popular numbers, from Tristan and Mitzi, which he later renamed Tristan and Chantelle to make it sound more French. Wagner had a great love of everything French, and dreamed of one of his shows transferring to Paris, but the Paris scene was then dominated by Italian operators like \"Big Giaccomo\" Rossini, Vince Bellini and \"Il Gatto\" Donizetti who made sure he never got the bookings after his second show Tannh\u00E4user (Dancehall Days) was panned as \"too Germanic\". Wagner had not helped himself by taking out the main comedy character, Fritz the Juggler, whose backchat in Act 2 had had Leipzig in stitches. \"We used to say\", recalls Morrie Wurtzberg one of Wagner's stage-directors, \"It can't fail, its a Dick Wagner show!\" but after Dick started these fancy ideas of hundred-piece orchestras and underwater preludes, we started saying that may be OK for Europe but Broadway's looking for colour, pizzazz, dancers and laughs. Sure, Dick, you want to do operetta, we'd say, but don't lose the sparkle.\" Wagner partly took this criticism on board and hired the joke-writer Art Schopenhauer to lighten up his next big show, which he planned as a frothy comedy, but G\u00F6tterd\u00E4mmerung (The Dame from the Gutter) went over budget and there were problems with the censors over Brunnhilde's bathroom immersion scene. Eventually it waited years for a full-scale production, and Wagner's long-time rival Joe Brahms said after seeing Act 1 \"They should build a special theater for this one - miles from anywhere!\" In his old age Wagner returned to his roots and helped the careers of slapstick act Bruckner and Mahler, two old vaudevillians who based their act on familiar Wagner numbers interspersed with their own material. Bruckner was the straight-man, Mahler livened it up with a trombone."@en . . . . . "Richard Wagner"@en . . . . . . . . "Richard+Wagner"@en . "Male"@en . .
