the difference between anti semitic Chopin and anti semitic Wagner was that Chopin was just that-an anti semite like Mousorgsky and Tchaikovsky. But Wagner wrote an essay about Jews in Music, proposed that the "Jewish problem" would be resolved when Jews got out of Europe and hsi opera themes contain anti semitic themes. Wagner went beyond being just an anti semite. His operas were political and championed German nationalism.
