Lukács’s philosophy of history inspired Adorno’s musical criticism in the late 1920s.
Evidence
But Adorno found in Lukács a form of philosophical thinking about history which in the late 1920s was an inspiration for his ideas on the philosophy of music and musical progress. The author of History and Class Consciousness whom Adorno visited in 1925, however, was not even prepared to defend his earlier Hegelian attempt to bring the philosophical content of Marxist theory up to date. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 325
