'Emanuel's part in the rapprochement between music and literature then penetrating Northern Europe took place, not in the seemingly more suitable genres of song or opera, but in the realm of pure instrumental music, and his goal, conscious or unconscious, was to speak emotively without using words,' according to Eugene Helm. Donald Macleod explores what Helm means.
