Richard Wagner once said, "I write music with an exclamation point!" After hearing some Wagner compositions, do you agree with his assessment? Why or why not? Give specific examples from his works. What other composers can you think of who write with an "exclamation point"? How does their music compare to the music of Wagner? Are there modern musicians or songs that you would place in this group, or does music with an exclamation point need to be performed by an orchestra? Please give specific examples of musicians and their work!
