Killswitch Engage - For You

Ritter continued the work that Bulow began, the work of turning Strauss into an admirer of Wagner. The friendship between Strauss and Ritter made this appeal inevitable. Strauss became a member of the fan club, obeying all its rules. He was an “unusually gifted” (according to Bulov) young man, but at the same time unusually impressionable. His creative formation had to go through several stages before he became an independent artist. At the first stage, classicism influenced, which he comprehended under the influence of his father, at the second - the musical views of Bulov, which made him an admirer of Brahms, and now another stage has come when he fell under the spell of Merlin, who has learned all the Bayreuth secrets.
