2 Which includes a wonderful Adorno quotation that ìs a rare example of a translation which in my view importantly changes meanings, so that I cannot resist offering my own version: ‘Lyric poetry…came up from the beginning against a boundary: that of the objective concept, never capable of total translation into pure expression, to which language is tied, … Music, however, stood under the spell of its architectonic nature, the traditional idea of form. It would not do without the articulation of time; it dared not abbreviate it ruthlessly; would not give up for the sake of intensity that which, as extensive magnitude, was to be mastered. For this reason music has never unconditionally realized the idea of the lyric, which is nevertheless irremovably present within it. Webern – one might almost say: only Webern – succeeded in this.’
