In 1765 Grimm wrote Poème lyrique, an influential article for the Encyclopédie on lyric and opera librettos.Like Christoph Willibald Gluck and Ranieri de' Calzabigi, Grimm became interested in opera reform.
According to Martin Fontius, a German literary theorist, "sooner or later a book entitled The Aesthetic Ideas of Grimm will have to be written."
