Richard Wagner was known for his controversial and often anti-Semitic views. In his writings, he expressed hostility towards Jews and blamed them for what he saw as the corruption of modern society.

A sitar is a plucked stringed instrument that is commonly used in classical Indian music. It has a long, hollow neck with frets and a rounded gourd-like body, and it is played by sitting cross-legged and plucking the strings with a plectrum, or pick. The sitar has between 18-20 strings, with six or seven main playing strings and the rest serving as drone strings.
