I frankly can´t understand this widespread obsession of many people (don´t take it personal, Mr. Shpak) in the music world with "late", "mature" and hence...
The reason people tend to concentrate on a composer's (or any artist's) mature works is that very often the juvenilia are highly derivative. To take Wagner as...
