I shall hear more about the concerts through
Weissheimer [A composer; was for some time second director of the
Euterpe concerts], who is advertised here for the day after
tomorrow; until now I have only heard something about them from
Fraulein Hundt [A composer, at that time in Weimar; has since
died] yesterday.
With best greetings, yours in all friendship,
F. Liszt
Weymar, November 16th, 1860
Will you be so kind as to send me at once a couple of copies of
Muller's new brochure?
. - . If it is possible to hurry the bringing out of my seventh
book of songs I shall be glad. Also the "Vereins-Lied."
Give my most friendly greetings to Gotze - and at the same time
tell him that his daughter (of whose great artistic powers there
is no doubt) sang and declaimed last Sunday in Jena with the
greatest success. The vocal numbers were "two songs by Schumann,"
one of which was encored - and at the end of the concert she
declaimed the Ballade Leonore (with my melodramatic pianoforte
accompaniment).
Have you heard anything of Wagner? Rienzi is being studied here,
and I have undertaken to conduct the rehearsals. With regard to
the performance I have at once mentioned decidedly that nothing
will induce me to make an exception and conduct it - consequently
Musik-director Stor will conduct it.
246. To Dr. Franz Brendel
Dear Friend,
