He was very interested in the work of Richard Wagner and his ideas about musical drama as a 'total artwork' and how a new language on society and politics was being formed through the work of so-called 'modernist' composers; that art was no longer just 'art for arts sake'. His other favourite topics included music theory, the aesthetics of music, and the prehistory of "new music"...." - wikipedia].
