THE RHYTHMICALLY, MELODICALLY AND RHYTHMIC-MELODICALLY ANALOGIES IN RICHARD WAGNER’S OPERAS
Keywords:
Richard Wagner, rhythmical, melodically, analogies, leitmotifAbstract
In Richard Wagner’s opera the composer put the rhythm both in the service of the musical dramaturgy and also in the melody, the harmony, the polyphony, the orchestration and the musical form. The rhythmic and the melodic analogies of his musical works do not have this trait because of the lack of ideas of the composer. These are rhythmical and melodic archetypes, which are called ancient motifs. This paper presents, in an analytical taste, these motifs, illustrating their analogy through musical examples.
