To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To be thus completely under- stood was my only ambition ; and to have been understood is the most ravishing gratification of my longing, " ROBERT FRANZ ON LOHENGRIN Liszt was not the only man of genius who recognized Lohengrin as a masterwork, a decade or tw^o before the critics. Among the eminent musicians who were invited by Liszt, or came of their own accord to hear Wagner's operas at Weimar, was one of the great trio of German song-composers, Robert Franz, who was then only in his thirty-se...venth year, but who w^as destined to bring the German Lied to its highest perfection along the lines marked out by Schubert and Schumann. Franz heard Lohengrin as interpreted by Liszt, and was moved thereby to write a private letter which w^as subsequently printed 260 LOHENGRIN AT WEIMAR in the Neue Zeitschrift far Musik (1852). It is too long to be translated entire, but the following extracts will give an idea of its sentiments.
Before going to Weimar, Franz writes, he had known Wagner's writings only through the Tannhauser score, which, detached from the action and other stage acces- sories, had not made a specially favorable impression on him : — " Consequently I shared the aversion which almost all my musi- cal colleagues felt toward the twofold rebel, and fancied that I was rendering full justice to my conscience if on the mention of Wag- ner's name I made the sign of a cross, contorted my features, and thought by myself, like the Pharisees, 'Lord, I thank thee, ' etc.
