Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of March 12, 1876

Overview

R. managed five pages of the score after speaking with Herr Erlanger, who judged the situation risky but still salvageable. A drive together left him preferring Berlin to Vienna, and we both marveled at the immense palace built for a city so small; Mimi came by in the evening.

Sunday, March 12:

Today R. writes five pages of his score; he sees Herr Erlanger and reports that the situation is “dangerous, though not hopeless!”

Took a drive with R., who likes Berlin better than Vienna. Astonishment over the palace, built for a town of 20,000 people!

In the evening, a visit from our friend Mimi.
