1. "Glanes de Woronice" (Leipzig, Kistner). 2. "Melodies de Chopin", transcrites par Liszt (Berlin, Schlesinger). 3. "Mazurka" (Senff, Leipzig). 4. "2 Polonaises" (idem). 5. "2 Ballades" (1 and 2. Kistner, Leipzig.) 6. "Consolations" (Hartel, Leipzig).
If the volume is not too thick with the above you might add the "Valse melancolique" and "Romanesca" (second edition of Haslinger). Of course let all this, contents and binding, be put down to my account, and given to the Princess-artist as a present from me. If the pieces cannot be procured in Vienna, order them speedily from Leipzig through Haslinger or Spina.
A propos of Spina: has the arrangement for 2 pianofortes of my orchestral setting of Schubert's magnificent C major "Fantasia" not yet been published? This delay, or, more properly, this remissness, is by no means a pleasant matter to me. With all my heart, thine,
F. Liszt

17. To Dr. Franz Brendel
Dear Friend,
I had to remain in bed all last week—and am still pretty weak on my legs. But there is nothing further wrong: my head is free again; the rest can be imagined. The day after tomorrow I quit my rooms in the Via Felice and move to Monte Mario (an hour's distance from the city). Father Theimer is kind enough to allow me to occupy his apartments in the almost uninhabited house of the Oratorian. The view is indescribably grand. I mean now, at last, to try and lead a natural kind of life. I hope I may succeed in approaching more closely to my monastico-artistic ideal…Meanwhile you may laugh at me about it. In my next letter I will tell you where to address me.
Pastor Landmesser will bring you further news about me to Leipzig, before the end of July, on his way back to Dantzig. I shall get him to take you the manuscript of the Psalms (of which I spoke to you). They are now ready for publication, and will not disgrace Kahnt's house of business.
The corrected copy of the Faust Symphony, too, I will send you by this opportunity, for Schuberth.
