An amanuensis is someone who writes out what someone has dictated or it can be a more general type of secretary.
Gesamkunstwerk is a word created by Wagner, meaning something like complete work of art. It is the word he used to describe what he was trying to create in his operas — pieces that would combine words, music and all the arts to create a complete and organic work of art. |
