Malevolent Creation - Eternal

January 1859 was overshadowed for Liszt by the first quarrel with Wagner. Wagner then lived in Venice and worked on Tristan and Isolde. The money was melting, but there was no hope of receiving royalties in the near future. The leaf was in a very serious state of mind due to intrigues that had already turned into outright persecution. Wagner, not accustomed to take into account other people's feelings, turned to Liszt with another request: to put “at least Rienzi” in Weimar. It was not possible to fulfill it, taking into account the state of affairs in the Weimar court theater, Liszt’s resignation and “dictatorship”. Wagner, having received a refusal, did not find anything better than to blame Liszt ... "for the indifference generated by cloudless happiness!" Naturally, Liszt, who gathered in response to Wagner sending the first act of Tristan, sent him the scores of the Dante Symphony and the Esztergom Mass,was deeply offended. His letter breathes bitterness: “Since my symphony and mass still cannot replace crispy banknotes for you, it would be unnecessary for me to send them to you. But from now on, I also consider it unnecessary to receive urgent telegrams and insulting letters from you. ”
