Franz LISZT (1811-1886). L.A.S. (the beginning is missing), Lugano [summer 1838], to "my good Rat" [his disciple Hermann Cohen known as Puzzi]; 1 page 3 / 4 in-8. About his arrangements of Schubert's songs, including the Ave Maria (published by Simon Richault). [...] "very elegantly the Ave Maria of which he will receive the proofs in two or three days. The Parisian edition of Schubert's 12 songs is very poor compared to the one in Vienna. The Ave Maria will have to be published separately and sold only separately from the others. I would prefer it to be on a smaller paper than the others. I would also ask Richault to distribute a certain number of copies free of charge, for I am convinced of the success of this little piece, provided that it is launched a little. [...] I would also be pleased if it were published immediately. [...] Farewell, my good Rat, and let me hear from you soon.
