His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres , greatly influenced the development of classical music ; his Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music. Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works.
