I will discuss here with Vegh [Formerly Vice-president of the Hungarian Academy of Music.] the ministerial affairs of your "academic, historical manual." The matter will assuredly be settled to your satisfaction.
Yours most faithfully,
F. Liszt
Wagner's "Parsifal" far surpasses the master-works which the theater boasts up to the present time. May the public be educated up to it.
304. To Freiherr Hans von Wolzogen
My dear Freiherr,
Both at and after yesterday's performance of Wagner's "Parsifal" it was the universal feeling that about this wonder-work it is impossible to speak.
It has indeed struck dumb those who were so deeply impressed by it; its sacred pendulum swings from the sublime to the sublimest.
Yours ever,
F. Liszt
