Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Franz Liszt

December 22, 1852 · Zurich

Overview

Wagner urgently asks Liszt to send the corrected Flying Dutchman score to Uhlig in Dresden, as Breslau has long been waiting for a copy, and promises his remarks on the opera's performance the following week.

Letter

My dear friend,

I wait with great longing for a letter from you.

For today one urgent request. Send at once the scores of the Dutchman after which that of Weimar was corrected to Uhlig at Dresden. In Breslau they have very long been waiting for a copy to be arranged in the same manner. Please, please see to this at once. Next week you will receive my remarks on the performance of the Flying Dutchman. Farewell, and remember lovingly your Richard Wagner.
