I am telling Simon that publishers cannot do better than bring out works of value such as Zarembski writes.
Pray, dear friend, present the sincere regards to Mme. Zarembska of your cordially attached

260. To Professor Bassani
Dear Friend,
Your "Studio sinfonico" is fine poetry in music. It reminds me of Venice when I was twenty. The solemn, sad motive (5/4) corresponds to the lagoons and to the gloomy stroke of their waves round the Bridge of Sighs: the other subject soars on high accompanied by the gentle sound of the belfries, announcing, as it were, from a distance the joyfulness of divine hopes.
My cordial sympathy and friendship.
F. Liszt
