The confusing language here looks like automatic translation of the German WP. I'm looking at that article, and providing a newly translated/paraphrased version. Herbivore (talk) 22:03, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Further work is still needed. (Yes, I know what the answer to that is; I'll get around to it as soon as I can, if no-one else beats me to it..!) Notably, the assertion – in the article as it stands – that "[the term Musikdrama] was most notably used by Richard Wagner [...] to define his operas" is flatly contradicted later in the same article by the statement that "Wagner himself resisted calling his works musikdrama". -- Picapica (talk) 18:18, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
