Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of January 17, 1875

Overview

Bad weather keeps the day subdued, though there are visits and an evening session with Rubinstein over the F Minor Sonata. Amid that, there are practical matters too: inquiries about touring Die Walküre with a piano and notice that the King is sending a bronze bust as a gift.

Sunday, January 17:

Lusch chosen by our groom as godmother. Very bad weather. Visits.

In the evening the F Minor Sonata, which R. goes through with Rubinstein. A lot to tell him. A Herr Hofmann inquires about the possibility of a tour of Die Walküre with a piano.

Letter from Councillor Dufflipp, saying the King is sending his bust in bronze as a present; no word about the provisos in the agreement.
