Undine (from Latin unda "wave") may refer to several things. According to a theory advanced by Paracelsus, an Undine is a water nymph or water spirit, the elemental of water. They are usually found in forest pools and waterfalls. They have beautiful voices, which are sometimes heard over the sound of water. According to some legends, undines cannot get a soul unless they marry a human man. This aspect has led them to be a popular motif in romantic and tragic literature. Undine ( ...

In Vienna in the 1790s, Mozart mentioned several "cabals" of Salieri concerning his new opera Così fan tutte. As Mozart's music became more popular over the decades, Salieri's music was forgotten, and Mozart's allegations gained credence and tarnished Salieri's reputation. At the beginning of the 19th century, increasing nationalism led to a tendency to transfigure the Austrian Mozart's genius, while the Italian Salieri was given the role of his evil antagonist.

There are eight Elemental Spirits throughout the series: Undine, Gnome, Sylphid (or Jinn), Salamando (or Salamander), Lumina (or Wisp), Shade, Luna (or Aura), and Dryad. Only four Elementals have made it through the series so far without any large modification to their names or the types of their powers. All Elementals debuted in Secret of Mana; the most significant change, Luna to Aura, occurred in Legend of Mana. One could argue that the Faerie that befriends the main character and follows them throughout Seiken Den ...

Germany has many unique regions with their own folk traditions of music and dance. Much of the 20th century saw German culture appropriated for the ruling powers (who fought "foreign" music at the same time), and thus it remained decidedly "unhip" until later in the century. Most recently, the East German regime promoted folk music as long as it was what they saw as an expression of pure German tradit ...
