LISZT Franz (1811-1886).
L.A.S. "F. Liszt", Avignon May 6, 1845, to "Mon bon José" [Joseph d'ORTIGUE]| 4 pages in-8 on blue paper.
Beautiful letter on friendship and Lamennais.
He is sensitive to the memory of José. "I know it is my nature to be brusque at times, even disagreeable, but it is not given to me to forget friendship. In this respect, I am stubbornly steadfast, with an incredible logic of feeling| even when circumstances have forced me to keep a kind of cold reserve towards some of my friends, I am still, in my heart of hearts, the most grateful of beasts, and I was eager to show it to them at the first opportunity".
José for rejecting Liszt's proposal: "in this way, your book immediately appeared under the most favorable conditions. We must not conceal the fact that musical literature does not yet exist on a commercial scale. By quarrelling with the Escudiers, you deprive yourself of the best poster and the most stunning joke imaginable. Schlesinger is a mere rosière compared to these gentlemen"... Liszt hopes that the matter can be settled, thanks to Belloni, and in the meantime advises José to "play the role of Cloporte as best you can, as our friend Berlioz would say".
Liszt has just written to LAMENNAIS "to ask him to do me the favor of 3 texts of Choeurs en prose. Les Forgerons, which I wrote in Lisbon, seems to me to have been fairly successful, and I shall attach great importance to the complete series". And he suggests to
José to ask Lamennais to publish separately the chapter on Art from the 3rd volume of his Esquisse d'une philosophie: "it would be a great service he would render to the mass of artists who are hardly in a position to follow this admirable sequence of deductions from a stated principle". And Liszt could translate the volume into German. Finally, he instructs José to assure Lamennais "of my deep respect and my grateful devotion".
