First sentence: In the summer of 1848 when Gabriel Faure was just a child of three, the composer Edouard Lalo - himself only twenty-five at the time - came up with the idea of founding a nation-wide, democratic musical association, the Association des artistes musiciens, for the purpose of "performing or having performed, as well as publishing, every musical composition which an elected jury would deem truly worthy of the art."
