Wagner's music was interpreted by some of his contemporaries as ______. a) a folk-like expression of Germanness b) ear-splitting noise c) heroic and stable

Wagner's music was interpreted by some of his contemporaries as a folk-like expression of Germanness. Option A.

Richard Wagner's music is known for its ability to suspend the listener's expectations through various compositional techniques and dramatic devices. Here's a more comprehensive explanation of how Wagner achieves this effect:

1. Harmonic Ambiguity: Wagner often employs complex and unconventional harmonic progressions, blurring the boundaries between different tonal centers. This harmonic ambiguity creates a sense of tension and uncertainty, keeping the listener engaged and unsure of where the music will resolve.

2. Extended Phrases and Delayed Resolutions: Wagner's compositions feature long, expansive phrases that prolong musical ideas and delay their resolutions. By stretching out melodic lines and postponing cadences, he heightens the sense of anticipation and defies traditional expectations of rhythmic and structural regularity.

3. Chromaticism and Dissonance: Wagner incorporates rich chromaticism and dissonant harmonies into his music. These dissonances create a sense of restlessness and unpredictability, challenging conventional tonal expectations and creating an atmosphere of suspense.

4. Leitmotifs and Associative Meaning: Wagner's use of leitmotifs, recurring musical themes associated with specific characters, objects, or ideas, contributes to the suspension of expectations. The leitmotifs can be transformed and combined in various ways, creating complex networks of musical connections that defy linear narrative development.

5. Dramatic Pacing and Narrative Structure: Wagner's operas are known for their epic scale and intricate narratives. He manipulates the dramatic pacing, alternating between moments of intense action and extended periods of reflection or anticipation. This dynamic narrative structure keeps the audience engaged and uncertain about what will happen next.

6. Innovative Orchestration: Wagner revolutionized orchestration, using the full capabilities of the orchestra to create unique timbres and textures. His use of instrumental colors and innovative techniques, such as the "Wagner tuba" and the "Tristan chord," adds to the sense of musical surprise and suspension of expectations.

Through these and other compositional techniques, Wagner's music challenges traditional conventions, pushes the boundaries of tonality, and keeps the listener captivated by creating a sense of anticipation, tension, and unpredictability. The result is an immersive and transformative musical experience that suspends the listener's expectations and engages them on a deep emotional and psychological level.

Hence, the right answer is option A. A folk-like expression of Germanness.
