in which I discuss Leitmotifs, what they are, and how they're used.

On this channel I am cataloguing the Leitmotifs Wagner used in his operas; numbered in order of appearance. Links to the related leitmotifs are provided in the videos' descriptions.

I may go on to document leitmotifs in other works, not by Wagner.
