Wagner's operatic works hold many musical secrets. How can the musically interested amateur explore these secrets? A musical score alone is too abstract, and audio examples from a CD can hardly be grasped without visual support. However, what is seen and heard is quickly understood and remembered. This audiovisual approach is the concept behind the Music Guides and the Sounding Libretti by MusiCosa Publishing.

Music Guides

The Music Guides provide a concise introduction to the acts of Wagner's works, explaining the leitmotifs and their music-psychological contexts. With the WebApp, the musical examples can be listened to and the explanations easily followed.

Sounding Libretti

In the Sounding Libretti, the complete, faithful text of the score with all stage directions is complemented by leitmotifs noted in the margins. Score tables of all leitmotifs and a free WebApp for listening to the audio examples on smartphone and PC are included.
