von Bulow, Hans Autograph letter signed Biebrich, August 8, 1862. 4 pp. 4to. To Herr Musikdirektor, [translated from the German], "During our recent meeting when you announced that you would lead, on August 28, a performance of Liszt's sinfonic poem 'Tasso,' you expressed also your desire to hear my opinion on the feasibility of making some cuts in this work [followed by several paragraphs in which von Bulow suggests particular musical excisions and directions - including examples given in musical notations]... My father-in-law [Franz Liszt] did authorize me... and as Mr. Wagner agrees with me, I hope, dear Sir, that you share in our view. At this occasion, may I ask you, whether the project of performance of 'Lohengrin' under the batton of the composer and the participation of Mr. and Mrs. Schorr from Dresden is definitely kept? For my Wife [Cosima, ne Liszt] and me this is of such high interest... [von Bulow goes on to describe Richard Wagner's unhappiness with a performance of 'Lohengrin' he [Wagner] attended in Vienna under Hagen]. Wagner, Siegfried Autograph post card signed No place, no date. [Translated from the German], "Many thanks, dear Ludwig. Couldn't you shoot down some of those factory chimneys?"
