Seriously, no problem. Did my time with the Tristan chord but it's always fun to take another look.
Follow Ups:
Crude, tasteless, profanity. So original. Nobody IN THE WORLD does that sort of thing these days, right? Have you considered coaching or even providing gangster rappers with lyrics? I'm sure they've never, EVER even thought about using sexual obscenities.
You're the only one, and you just so plumb pleased with yourself. Just so darn---witty. Clever. Why, crude sex references and even outright graphic sex act descriptions just never, ever, ever occur anywhere in the world today - not even nearly every issue of Stereophile, much less mainstream magazines by the score, tweets, etc.
You are an original. Singular. Unique. You might even get a Nobel Prize nomination. Sky's the limit for a mind such as yours.

What a twit. A profane, wrong-way-Jackson twit. Gets everything wrong, even off-the-cuff throw away posts. Soon, I may post a catalog of errors. There'd be a lot of typing, however, so I'm not inclined to hurry.

King Marke discovers Tristan having sex with his wife in Act 2. Wagner defers the Tonic right at the "point of no return." The cadence is completed, finally, at the very end of the opera, after Tristan is dead.
It's a famous moment with which any freshman music student would be familiar, and very relevant to our discussion.
I Stand Corrected
You're right. Very good analogy there. Excellent.
I just completely missed it.
However, you'd have made incalculably more impact if you had chosen a less sophomoric, hormonal-15-year-old-snot-nose type head mast. Try something normal; a witty but non-screaming head mast is much better. Shows active brain function and intelligence, rather than drug use and atrophy.
See how easy that is, Jiminy? When you're wrong, just admit that you're wrong. Learn from your mistake. Learning is better than unhinging your jaw and running your mouth. Someday, even you may come to understand that.

...rolls her eyes and screams, "oh brother," it's not because she just read one of your narcissistic posts!*
Anyway, your heros, which I happen to like too:
Read the actual text behind Sibelius' Kullervo, or Mendelssohn's Mid-Summer Night's Dream. Eyebrow-raising stuff about Summer that Shakespeare wrote.
Mahler's 8th Symphony, a fusion of the Sacred and Secular--big no no.
I think you get the idea about Wagner, LOL.
Then, of course, Stravinsky's Rite--a ritual murder of a teenaged virgin. No immorality there.
Firebird? Busoni's Faust? Berlioz Fantastique? The occult. OOOOooooh.
Ravel's Daphnis, soft-core porn.
Which Newey are you today? It's hard to tell from one post to the next.
*(Is that lively discussion, or a below the belt retort? I don't know.)
The content of your post was excellent. It was the subject line head mast that was juvenile and unnesessary.
I don't feel like typing more about it.

beyond cut and paste. It's because you've spent a lifetime putting symbol before sound; obsessing with symbol over sound.
For example: How can you even begin to discuss or appreciate the Tristan chord without being familiar with the music? Without even knowing the story?
