Very much vexed to be unable to make a place for one of your grand works—such as your superb Mass or some Poeme symphonique— in the programme of our next Tonkunstler-Versammlung at Weimar from the 23rd to the 28th May. Sauret is going to play your third Concerto, and I will send you this overloaded programme. If you came to hear it, it would be a very great pleasure to
Your admiringly and cordially attached
F. Liszt
Weimar, April 29th, 1884
338. To Otto Lessmann
[Weimar,] May 7th, 1884
Dear Friend,
The motto of my Oratorio "Stanislaus" is "Religion and Fatherland." In the fragment (Orchestral Interlude) which will be given here at the next Tonkunstler-Versammlung the whole meaning of the work is made plain. [This remained unfinished, as is well known.]
Farewell till our speedy meeting.
Ever faithfully yours,
