When I was a college student, I wrote a paper on "Cultural Anti-Semitism in Imperial Germany" using the German historian Heinrich von Treitschke and Wagner as case studies. To put myself in the spirit of the times, I listened to Wagner's entire Ring cycle from start to finish, about 17 hours if I recall. To this day, I can't listen to opera without having bad memories of that weekend. I still love Wagner's music, but only in small doses.
