An engagement. Who with, now?" My chin shot up in the air. He laughed, that cold, noiseless little laugh of his. "But suppose I want you to come to lunch with me?" "Oh, thank you, Mr. Tausig. But how could I break my engagement with " "With Braun?" "How did you guess it?" I laughed. "There's no keeping anything from you." He was immensely satisfied with his little self.
Cornelius and Tausig, with some assistant copyists, now started on the work, which could only be carried out by experienced score-readers if it was to be done correctly. They were joined by Weisheimer, who had arrived in Vienna, having in the end decided to come to the concert.
You can imagine how often I am with you, especially when Tausig is sitting at the piano. Between us, all is one. Farewell, and continue to love me. Your When I saw the Grand Duke last night for the first time after his return, he told me much about the visit you paid him at Lucerne. Dingelstedt will shortly write to you about "Rienzi", which is to be performed next season, in December or January.
He is even credited with having trilled in octaves with one hand. Taking upon himself the management of an English piano factory, he extended the keyboard, in 1793, to five and a half octaves. Seven octaves were not reached until 1851. His "Gradus ad Parnassum" became the parent of Etude literature. Carl Tausig said: "There is but one god in technique, Bach, and Clementi is his prophet."
Tausig put in an appearance too, but excluded himself from most of our free and easy gatherings to carry on a love-affair with a young lady. Liszt gave me Emilie Genast as a companion on one or two short excursions, an arrangement with which I found no fault, as she was witty and very intelligent. I made the acquaintance of Damrosch too, a violinist and a musician.
Without any grief, but, on the contrary, with undisguised satisfaction, Eduard Devrient yielded to this fresh turn of affairs, and prophesied a splendid future for me in Vienna. Here Tausig overtook me, having already decided in Vienna to pay a visit to Paris, where he wished to see Liszt; and we accordingly continued our journey from Karlsruhe together by way of Strasburg.
The cantabile is nearly always delivered with sloppiness of sentiment. This valse has been served up in a highly indigestible condition for concert purposes by Tausig, Joseffy whose arrangement was the first to be heard here Theodore Ritter, Rosenthal and Isidor Philipp. The C sharp minor Valse is the most poetic of all.
"He found her and made her," one of 'em said; "just dug her out of the ground. See what he's done for her; taught her every blessed thing she knows; wrote her mimicking monologues for her; gave her her chance, and and now Well, Tausig don't pay salaries for nothing, and she gets hers as regularly as I draw mine. What more I don't know.
Witness Liszt the magnificent, Rubinstein a passionate genius, Tausig who united in his person all the elements of greatness, Essipowa fascinating and feminine, the poetic Paderewski, de Pachmann the fantastic, subtle Joseffy, and Rosenthal a phenomenon. A world-great pianist was this Frderic Francois Chopin. He played as he composed: uniquely. All testimony is emphatic as to this.
Last winter we were unable to get on with the work for reasons which, as they exist no longer, are not sufficiently important to be discussed. Let me soon hear from you. Your July 3rd, 1858. I enclose a letter to Tausig, which you will be kind enough to hand to him. How is he getting on at Zurich, and what do you think of him? ZURICH, July 8th, 1858.
