["Manfred" Was Put On The Stage For The First Time By Liszt] I Hope That, At This Time Of Year, Your Dusseldorf Duties Will Allow Of Your Coming Here For A Couple Of Days, And That Probably You Will Bring Clara With You, To Whom Please Remember Me Very Kindly.

Should you, however, come alone, I beg that you will stay with me at the Altenburg, where you can make yourself perfectly at home.

The last rehearsal is fixed for Friday afternoon; perhaps it would be possible for you to be present at it, which of course would be very agreeable to me. Your Leipzig friends will see the announcement of this performance in the papers, and I think you will consider it your bounden duty not to be absent from us at this performance.

Wishing you always from my heart the best spirits for your work, good health, and "every other good that appertains thereto," I remain unalterably

Yours most sincerely, F. Liszt

Weymar, June 8th, 1852.

84. To Robert Schumann

[Autograph in the Royal Library in Berlin.]

My very dear Friend,

I regret extremely that you could not come to the second performance [This might perhaps also be read "first performance."] of your "Manfred," and I believe that you would not have been dissatisfied with the musical preparation and performance of that work (which I count among your greatest successes). The whole impression was a thoroughly noble, deep, and elevating one, in accordance with my expectations. The part of Manfred was taken by Herr Potsch, who rendered it in a manly and intelligent manner.
