The Mildes Have Got Leave Of Absence From Monday, 30th April,
Till Friday, 3rd June, Inclusive.
Your programme remains as
already fixed.
Duet from the "Flying Dutchman", "Cellini Aria",
Songs by Franz and Schumann (etc. ad libitum).
2. I will bring all the orchestral parts that there are with me,
or, better still, I will send you the whole lot tomorrow. For
"Tasso" the whole set is complete - but for the "Duet" from the
"Dutchman", and the "Cellini Aria" and "Overture" a couple of
copies of the quartet will have to be written out afresh in
Leipzig.
3. I do not possess the "Overture to the Corsair" [By Berlioz]
(and would not recommend it for performance), and the "Prelude to
Tristan" Bülow will see after.
4. I expect more particulars from Bülow in the course of the
week.
5. I am writing today to Cornelius about the Prologue affair.
6. Herewith is the German text of the Mass,[Lizst's "Gran
Festival Mass."] which is to be printed in Leipzig in the same
manner as in Vienna - namely, with the addition of the Latin text-
-and which belongs to the General Programme of the Festival.
This programme we will settle and revise together next Sunday.
7. Leave of absence for Frau Pohl will be attended to.
8. I reserve to myself the matter of deciding on what pianists
shall accompany the Ballads, and undertake the piano part of the
"Trios" that are to be given. If possible I want Bronsart to take
a part in it.
