328. To Ferdinand Taborszky, Music Publisher in Budapest
Dear Taborszky,
As it is uncertain whether I shall still be alive next year, I have just written an Hungarian "Konigslied" [Royal Song] according to an old mode, for the opening of the New Hungarian Theater in Radialstrasse.
Herewith is the manuscript for pianoforte, two hands, and the score with text by Kornel Abranyi [German translation by Ladislaus Neugebauer] will follow in Easter week.
The publishing of my "Konigslied" ought not to take place till the first performance in the new theater in '84,
Until then we will keep quiet about it.—
Yours in all friendship,
F. Liszt
Budapest, March 11th, 1883
