Godflesh - Weak Flesh

On August 25th Liszt for the third time (the second performance took place on March 13) conducted “Iphigenia in Aulis”. And on the 28th, on Goethe's birthday, the long-awaited premiere of "Lohengrin" was held under the control of Liszt, who gave him, according to Wagner, "a birth in the world." After the premiere, Liszt informed his friend about the impression that his work made on the public, who had gathered in Weimar, and promised to provide all possible assistance to the speedy production of “Lohengrin” on other European stages. (This year he conducted “Lohengrin” in Weimar two more times, on September 14 and October 9.) In the meantime, he invited Wagner to add the “abandoned” Siegfried's Death for performance in Weimar and made the Grand Duke promise to pay a fee to the author 500 thalers, if he manages in a year.
