Özet:

Cosima Wagner, Franz Liszt’s illegitimate daughter, went down in history as the second wife of the great German composer Richard Wagner and as a leading advocate of his work after the death of the musician. Traditionally, Cosima has been regarded as a fundamental source of inspiration for some of the musical works of the artist, but perhaps her influence on Wagners personality went far beyond. The aim of this research is to propose a particular vision of the influence that Cosima had on the thought of the composer and his works through a sociometric analysis performed from a content analysis of several texts extracted from her personal diaries. This special influence Cosima had over Wagner explains some of the musical, political and social opinions that were behind many of his works, especially in "Das Judentum in der Musik".
