The director of the subscription concerts at Weimar is going to give Benoit's "La Guerre," and at the next Musical Festival Benoit's "Sanctus" and "Benedictus" will be heard. [Both these intentions of Liszt came to nothing, owing to external causes.]
312. To the Editor of the "Allgemeine Musikzeitung," Otto Lessmann, at Charlottenburg
Dear Mr. Editor,
As I am very much hindered in my work by overmuch sending of scores, other compositions, and suchlike writings, I beg you to make it known that I wish in future not to have my attention claimed in this manner. I have modestly refrained for many years past from contributing to collections of autographs.
Yours truly,
F. Liszt
