In 1826, Wagner learned about the death of his idol Weber. He was shocked. But this news only prompted him to continue studying the music of the master, in particular his “Oberon”. By the way, Wagner found the music of the Mozartian “Don Juan” “pampered and feminine powerless”, focusing on Zerlina’s arietta Batti, batti, bell Masetto, which was sung by Clara’s sister. He was especially annoyed by the Italian text of the opera. “I remember very clearly that from the very beginning I was on the side of German, not Italian opera,” Wagner wrote in his memoirs. On the other hand, Mozart’s “Requiem” made a very strong impression on Wagner, and acquaintance with him served as the starting point for the enthusiastic enthusiasm of his author.
