The Room Adjoining
That Which Mr. De Bulow Occupies Is Entirely At Your Service, And
It Will Be A Pleasure To Me If You Will Settle Yourself There
Without Any Ceremony, And Will Come And Dine Regularly With Us
Like An Inhabitant Of The Altenburg.
The theatrical season
recommences on Sunday next, September 12th, with Verdi's
"Ernani." In the early days of October (at
The latest)
"Lohengrin" will be given again; and on the 12th of November I
expect a visit from Berlioz, who will spend a week at Weymar.
Then we shall have "Cellini," the Symphony of Romeo and Juliet,
and some pieces from the Faust Symphony.
Kindest regards from yours ever,
F. Liszt
86. To Clara Schumann
Weymar, September 11th, 1852.
It is not without regret that I obey your wish, Madame, in
returning to you the autograph score of "Manfred," for I confess
that I had flattered myself a little in petto that Robert would
leave it with me in virtue of possession in a friendly manner.
Our theater possesses an exact copy, which will serve us for
subsequent performances of "Manfred;" I was tempted to send you
this copy, which, for revision of proofs, would be sufficient,
but I know not what scruple of honor kept me from doing so.
Perhaps you will find that it is possible generously to encourage
my slightly wavering virtue, and in that case you will have no
trouble in guessing what would be to me a precious reward...
How is Robert's health?
