Passage A.

Music and Words · Can work well together

Words can bring out emotions but words are "inadequate" to express those emotions. This is where music comes in. It can express those emotions and cause further emotions to come out. So words benefit from being set to music.

Cost · Each art loses its purity

Subordinate words to music · Music is more expressive

Example · Beethoven's Fifth Symphony; operas
