256A To Peter Cornelius

[Autograph in the possession of Constance Bache This letter was left out by La Mara, but is inserted by the translator]

Dearest Cornelius,

I have just been told that the score of the ”Barber of Baghdad”

is not in the theater library here, as I thought, but that you have kept it

I can therefore no longer keep it a secret froive the Terzet [Canon] fro of the second act at the third concert (7th August) of the Tonkunstler- Versa, and I have not the smallest doubt as to the capital effect that this exquisite piece of music will produce

But do send me by return of post the score of your ”Barber”

The Terzet is a necessary integral part of our programme, which will consist of the ”performance of manuscript works of the present day”--

With heartfelt greetings, your

F Liszt
