Wagner's genius is on the list of world musical heritage in one of the first places, and his work has constituted an entire era in the history of music. And at the same time, quite serious accusations are being made against Wagner the man. He is the ideologist of the Third Reich and Hitler's favorite composer, he is a pathological debtor and debtor, the personification of "black ingratitude" and "unbridled morals," the bearer of anti-human xenophobic ideology, the performance of whose music is tacitly prohibited in Israel, and his very life is an example of immorality and cynical egoism. In her second book on Wagner, Maria Zalesskaya examines the ten most common and tenacious myths about the composer.
