Tonight I go to Rotterdam for the Musical Festival, and thence
for a couple of days to Brussels. On the 22nd - 24th of July I
shall come to Leipzig for a few hours, before I get back to
Weimar.
I suppose you have given up your Rotterdam journey. If you have
anything to send for from there, write me a line immediately to
Poste restante, Rotterdam.
Two articles are ready for your paper, "Die weisse Frau" [The
White Lady] and "Alfonso and Estrella." As soon as the
"Montecchi" and the "Favorita" appear you shall receive them [the
complete "Gesammelte Schriften," vol. iii, 1]. The "Fliegender
Hollander" is also ready, but must be copied.["Gesammelte
Schriften," vol. iii., 2.] This article is a very long one, and
will take up several of your numbers.
Remember me kindly to your wife, and bear me in friendly
remembrance as your willing collaborator and attached friend,
F. Liszt
Weymar, July 7th, 1854
117. To Anton Rubinstein.
[Rubinstein (born 1830, at Wechwotynetz in Russian Bessarabia)
gave concerts as early as 1839 in Paris, and Liszt, who was
there, welcomed in the boy the future "inheritor of his playing,"
and helped him in his studies, both during his stay in Paris, and
during his stay in Vienna later on, by giving him lessons.
