1. To recommend Wagner to sign a legal document.
This is entirely opposed to my peaceable practices.
2. To prepare an enlarged version of the transcription of the "Tannhauser-March."
Acquiescing in this, I will send you the day after tomorrow a couple of pages of notes [musical] for the purpose of an enlarged edition. I cannot decide whether these acquire a legal value, but in any case they prove to you, dear Sir, my sincere readiness.
My "Wagner-Transcriptions," by-the-by, were not in any way a matter of speculation to me. Appearing at the beginning of the fifties, when only the Weimar theater had the honor of performing "Tannhauser," "Lohengrin" and the "Flying Dutchman," such transcriptions only served as modest propaganda on the inadequate Piano for the sublime genius of Wagner, whose radiating glory now and henceforth belongs to the Pride of Germany.
With high esteem most sincerely yours,
F. Liszt
Budapest, November 23rd, 1876
