Excerpt from Richard Wagner's Letters: To His Dresden Friends, Theodor Uhlig, Wilhelm Fischer, and Ferdinand Heine The correspondence of Wagner and Liszt commenced in 1841 and closed in 1861; in this volume the letters extend from 1841 to 1868. Of early letters there are only a few; and setting aside these and the last written to Heine from Munich in 1868, the series may be said to begin in 1849 and to close in 1860. This represents the period of exile at Zurich; and amid much that is familiar we come across much that is new. Of the eventful visit to Paris in 1850, there is the briefest possible mention in a letter from Wagner to Liszt; but here in letters to Uhlig and Heine he pours out his whole soul, and tells of his sorrows, his anger, and his despair. The picture which he draws of himself is indeed a striking one. The Paris failure, however, as Wagner himself fully acknowledges, resulted in good. He returned to Switzerland, and soon the whole plan of the Ring des Nibelungen was conceived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
