LISZT, Franz (1811-1886)
Lettre autographe signée ("F. Liszt") au prince et cardinal Gustave-Adolphe de Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst (1823-1896). Kalocsa (Hongrie), "vendredi saint" [7 avril] 1882.

6 pp. sur 2 bifeuillets de format in-8 (230 x 145 mm), à l'encre brune, en français. Avec enveloppe.
Lettre publiée dans : Franz Liszts Briefe gesammelt und herausgegeben von La Mara, 1905, lettre n°416.

Liszt et le cardinal Hohenloe ont entretenu une longue relation épistolaire, malgré des débuts houleux - Hohenloe joua en effet un rôle important dans l'empêchement du mariage entre Franz Liszt et la princesse Carolyne de Sayn-Wittgenstein, pour préserver les droits de son frère Konstantin, époux de la fille de Carolyne. Leur relation devint pourtant amicale ; le cardinal accueillant ainsi Liszt dans ses appartements au Vatican.
Liszt écrit cette lettre à un moment de sa carrière où il se consacre à la composition de musique religieuse : "Les choses musicales dont j’ai à m’occuper à Budapest avancent assez lentement mais sans discontinuer. En automne un orgue convenable, du prix de 5000 florins sera placé dans la salle qui touche à mon appartement à l’académie royale de musique. Prochainement une classe pour l’enseignement du chant d’église s’établira, la diriger de façon à obtenir des bons résultats est de mon devoir. L’intelligent évêque de Szathmar, monseigneur Schlauch, témoigne un véritable intérêt au progrès sérieux de la musique d’église en Hongrie".

A interesting autograph letter signed from Liszt to Cardinal Hohenlohe, mostly dealing with his late religious works.
