>According to his autobiography Mein Leben, Wagner conceived Parsifal on Good Friday morning, April 1857, in the Asyl (German: "Asylum"), the small cottage on Otto Wesendonck's estate in the Zürich suburb of Enge, which Wesendonck – a wealthy silk merchant and generous patron of the arts – had placed at Wagner's disposal, through the good offices of his wife Mathilde Wesendonck. The composer and his wife Minna had moved into the cottage on 28 April:
>... on Good Friday I awoke to find the sun shining brightly for the first time in this house: the little garden was radiant with green, the birds sang, and at last I could sit on the roof and enjoy the long-yearned-for peace with its message of promise. Full of this sentiment, I suddenly remembered that the day was Good Friday, and I called to mind the significance this omen had already once assumed for me when I was reading Wolfram's Parzival. Since the sojourn in Marienbad [in the summer of 1845], where I had conceived Die Meistersinger and Lohengrin, I had never occupied myself again with that poem; now its noble possibilities struck me with overwhelming force, and out of my thoughts about Good Friday I rapidly conceived a whole drama, of which I made a rough sketch with a few dashes of the pen, dividing the whole into three acts.
>However, as his second wife Cosima Wagner later reported on 22 April 1879, this account had been colored by a certain amount of poetic licence:
>R[ichard] today recalled the impression which inspired his "Good Friday Music"; he laughs, saying he had thought to himself, "In fact it is all as far-fetched as my love affairs, for it was not a Good Friday at all – just a pleasant mood in Nature which made me think, 'This is how a Good Friday ought to be'".

>BWV 925 may have been composed by Wilhelm Friedemann (it has the number BR A 45 in the catalogue of the compositions of that composer) but it's unmistakably by JS Bach to anyone who is familiar with Bach tho youtube.com/watch?v=34YeXOMGXEs
youtube.com/watch?v=3nhcTllJgIY Right at 1:00 your oestrogen gets stimulated. and during 1:42, the GODLY TRUMPET chills caused by testosterone simulation are induced. I always thought that Wagner was the composer for "Men" and "Masculinity", but I was deluding myself into my own wild Interpretations. Wagner uses feminine qualities in his works, but his "Music" is created only "For" Men. The feminine expression is often induced before or after the masculine expression (Mostly Trumpets).Wagner was trying to express the inner "femininity/womanly" personality in Men. This is like Jung said, Wagner was exploring the " Anima/Animus".

/classical/, i need your help to recognize the pieces that are played in the "Demo 1" excerpt of this page thomann.de/fr/yamaha_clp_725_r.htm There are 2 pieces, one that obviously starts at 0:00, the second one comes at 0:50
I forgot to specify that you can change the audio by clicking on it, the two pieces i'm looking for are contained in Demo 1, which, for some odd reason, is not the first of the list. Thanks for trying, still
