As I said, Wagner = Blunt Object. Anyone that seriously considers Wagner to be "high art" should be fed into a wood chipper feet first.
Schumann is no hack. Listen to his Faust Oratorio, his piano music, lieder, chamber music. Brahms thought highly of him for good reason. Brahsm likes, I like! Perhaps if you listened to more of this and less American Idol it might settle you down a bit and stop the name calling and feeding of people into woodchippers. Fargo as such imagery is not good for the mind. Nibelungen imagery is much better indeed!
