About This Song
About "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, WWV 96, Act I, Scene 3: "Fanget an!"" by Benno Kusche
A trial begins with a single word: 'Fanget an!' Kusche's voice is a hammer on anvil, each syllable testing the air. The guild's judgment hangs like a blade, and Wagner lets the tension coil—ambition versus rule, a young heart beating against stone.
