Germany rises from the rolling plains in the north to the mountainous region of Bavaria.
The most common name to come to mind when thinking of German music is Richard Wagner who wrote the most famous German operas including Tristan and Isolde and Der Ring des Nibelungen. We may also think of oompah bands and the accordians and tubas of Oktoberfest. Germany also has a rich tradition of folk music.
