The narrative beautifully captures the fervent excitement and reverence they feel for Wagner, highlighting their deep admiration for his music and artistry. The opening of the work sets the tone for an exhilarating journey as a group of French admirers, filled with impatience and excitement, makes their way to Lucerne to meet Wagner for the first time.
