The French composer writes to thank the recipient, Lucien l'Hoest, for sending along some articles. He adds that he quite enjoyed them because he is a vieux Wagnerian.
Much is often made of the influence of J. S. Bach's music on Honegger's work, but the French composer in fact drew inspiration from a variety of sources. During his studies at the Zürich Conservatory, the scores of Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Max Reger all contributed to the development of his distinct style.
