Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Franz Liszt

August 23, 1851 · Zurich

Overview

In a brief note Wagner tells Liszt that he, unlike Stahr, has understood Lohengrin aright, and withdraws his hasty endorsement of Stahr's opinion.

Letter

Dear Liszt,

Two words only. You have understood Lohengrin aright; Stahr has not. I withdraw my consent to his opinion; it was given in haste. You will soon hear more from me, best of all men!
