Christophe, who had not come to see Salome and did not even know who she was, thought it a very bad joke; he asked if Herr Universitaets Musikdirektor Schulz was not at home. He was told "Yes," but the woman could not tell him where he was. Christophe was furious and went away.
It was warm, ceremonious, enthusiastic, old-fashioned in form, and came from a little town in Thuringia, and was signed "Universitaets Musikdirektor Professor Dr. Peter Schulz." It was a great joy for Christophe, and even greater for the Reinharts, when at their house he opened the letter, which he had left lying in his pocket for two days. They read it together.
Musikdirektor Gotze, who had to make these alterations in the score, has been much detained from his work, and only your letter explained the matter to me in the sense that you wish to dispose of my copy, which is cordially at your service. Nunc et semper. Your truly devoted January 12th, 1853
And then Reinhart noticed that in one sentence the Universitaets Musikdirektor compared Christophe's Lieder with those of Brahms. Christophe moaned: "A friend! I have found a friend at last!... And I have hardly found him when I have lost him!..." The comparison revolted him.
