First sentence: 1.1. Wagner, Mallarme, and the social circumstances of music making Passages from Richard Wagner's Zukunftsmusik (published in 1860 in French as the Lettre a M. Villot sur la musique) and Stephane Mallarme's prose writings of the 1870s and 80s show a similar estimate of the character of music, but sharp disagreement as to what that character implies for the treatment of language.
