Part IV opens with an examination of the rise of German opera, from its roots in German folklore, through the humble Singspiel and the works of Mozart and Weber to the towering achievements of Richard Wagner, and to the early 20-century with the works of Richard Strauss. We then move on to Russia, where a national artistic and operatic tradition is created by core of committed composers, and we end with an examination of the school of Italian realism known as verismo and its greatest exponent, Giacomo Puccini.
