,
guitarist
and
critic

one
of
the
first

composers
of

Weber's
operas

greatly
influenced

development

)
in
Germany
.
Der
Freischütz
came
to
be
regarded
as
the
first
German
"
nationalist
"
opera
,
Euryanthe
developed
the
Leitmotif
technique
to
an
unprecedented
degree
,
while
Oberon
may
have
influenced
Mendelssohn's
music
for
A
Midsummer
Night's
Dream
and
,
at
the
same
time
,
revealed
Weber's
lifelong
interest
in
the
music
of
non
-
Western
cultures
.
This
interest
was
first
manifested
in
Weber's
incidental
music
for
Schiller's
translation
of
Gozzi's
Turandot
,
for
which
he
used
a
____________________
melody
,
making
him
the
first
Western
composer
to
use
an
Asian
tune
that
was
not
of
the
pseudo
-
Turkish
kind
popularized
by
____________________
and
others
.
