Liszt, Franz. Autograph letter signed ("F. Liszt") in German, 2 pages, 8 x 5¼ in., Weimar, October 31 (18)82. To an unnamed recipient (Richard Wagner): "Esteemed Friend, Today I am sending the transcription of your very successful 3 'Tannenhäuser Lieder' (Heute sende ich Innen die Transciption Ihrer sehr gelungenen 3 'Tannhäuser Lieder'). Be so kind and accept this little offering and publish them as entirely as you like. (Nehmen Sie diese kleine Gabe freundschaftlich auf, und verfügen Sie gänzich nach Belieben, über deren Veröffentlichung). Bowing in gratitude, F. Liszt." A postscript follows: "P.S. Upon return I wish that the poems be enclosed-- either on a separate page, or, even better underneath the music itself. Send me the last corrections bound. (P.S. Der Rückgabe wünsche ich, dass die Gedichte beigegeben werden. Entweder auf einem separat Blatt, oder besser unter den Noten selbst. Die letzten Correcturen senden Sie mir geheftet)."

Toning around edges from a previous framing; partial fold to page one. The postscript, written on a 5¼ x 8¼ in. sheet, is partly separated at center fold, has light soiling and and chipping at lower edge.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000.
