LISZT Franz (1811-1886).
L.A.S. "F. Liszt", Weymar March 6, 1854, to Joseph AUTRAN in Paris| 4 pages in-8 sutr blue paper (small cracks at folds repaired), envelope with red wax seal.
Beautiful letter evoking Chopin, Dumas and his project for a
Faust-Symphonie.
[The letter is addressed to the poet and playwright Joseph
Autran (1813-1877), a native of Marseille| Liszt set his Quatre Éléments to music. One of Liszt's great reads, Goethe's two Fausts inspired his Faust-Symphonie, essentially composed between August and October 1854, then completed and premiered in Weimar in 1857]. "Thank you, dear friend, for your kind remembrance. I shall read Laboureurs et soldats with the interest and sympathy I attach to your works.
After having wandered and sailed so well in your Poèmes de la Mer [a collection published in 1852], it suits you well to make land with the ploughmen - and the idea of your new book seems to me quite happy. I am also grateful to you for remembering my pages on CHOPIN [the F. Chopin essay that Liszt published in 1852] and would send them to you with great pleasure if the French postal service were not rather inaccurate in such commissions and did not require enormous postage. However, as I am anxious that you should have this volume, I have just written two words to Belloni [Gaetano Belloni, Liszt's secretary] (whom you may still remember from Marseilles) to enjoin him to bring it to you, as he has several copies at my disposal. [...]
Do you know any news of DUMAS? Is he visible? At one time, he was planning to reunite the two Fausts for a performance at his theater. I asked him to entrust me with the musical composition he would need for this. As he never replied, it's possible that my letter didn't reach him| and if you happen to find an opportunity to remind him of this, I'd be much obliged - for I'm busy at the moment with a long symphonic work on Faust - and if ever Dumas were to realize his old idea, I'd be delighted.
Dumas were to realize his old idea, I would gladly do the musical work he would probably need"...
