...song cycles, on the theory that they are "distinctly operatic." His basic argument is that Mozart's Marriage of Figaro expresses the Enlightenment's belief in reason and reconciliation, that Rossini's Barber of Seville reflects the post-Napoleonic withdrawal from emotional involvement, and that Schubert's Winterreise and Sch??ne Müllerin represent the Romantics' concentration on the individual and his relationship to nature. Similarly, he asserts that Berlioz's Trojans dramatizes the 19th century's obsession with history, that Verdi's Don Carlo portrays the conflict between liberalism and realpolitik, that Wagner's Meistersinger illustrates the aesthetic movement...

There was much discussion of an older, interim figure, a caretaker who by definition would have to worry less about living up to John Paul's gargantuan legacy...
