Franz LISZT. L.A.S., Rome February 22, 1868, [to a director of the Bote et Bock house]; 2 pages and a quarter in-8 (lightly wetted, folds cracked and repaired). About his Farewell, "rêverie sur un motif de l'opéra de Charles Gounod, Roméo et Juliette," for piano (Berlin, Bote & Bock, 1868). He thanked him for his pleasant submission: "I can only wish good luck and success to Romeo's Farewell to complete our mutual satisfaction. Please tell Mr. Tausig a thousand things on my behalf. Nobody more than me applauds his prodigious talent. If Briarée with his hundred hands and fifty heads had played the piano, there would not have been as much success as Tausig under his bronze and diamond fingers. The Concerto of which you speak to me must have resounded proudly "... He asks "to send a copy of my transcription of Romeo to Mr. Gounod. I hope that he will not reproach me for having mistreated him "...
