Queen - Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

Having led his son, Liszt returned to the bandmaster activity. On May 2, he repeated “Lohengrin” for the Weimar public and began preparations for the next, 25th Nizhny Rhein Music Festival, held from May 31 to June 2 in Aachen (by the way, Liszt met again with Agnes Street-Klindworth here). Along with the works of Beethoven, Handel, Bach, Schubert and Berlioz, he included in the program Schumann's ballad “The Curse of the Singer” for soloists, choir and orchestra. However, the mechanism of persecution and slander was already launched: newspapers wrote that he "can not conduct", "can not write music" and "is suitable only to play the piano." As a result, the audience met Liszt with a whistle and a boo. There was something to fall into despair. But he responded with a June 20 performance in Weimar ... Schumann's oratorio "Paradise and Peri" of twenty-six numbers.
