Judas Priest - Dissident Aggressor

With all due respect to Liszt’s views, Wagner was far from accepting his creative methods, much less trying to copy them, which he is sometimes accused of.

One of the eloquent examples is given by J. I. Milstein: “Wagner himself somehow and not without irony remarked on Liszt's symphonic poems:“ I often exclaimed in amazement after the first sixteen measures: “Enough, I understood everything!” “”.
