RICHARD WAGNER (1813 - 1883). A hand written letter to the conductor Hans Richter, signed and dated "Bayreuth 9th October 79", written in violet ink, two sides with envelope. Extracts from the letter read: "Dear Richter, I know nothing at all of Naples and a "lohengrin" there and - wouldn't really trouble myself about it, as i have even less desire to hear of my opera performances there than the ones here in quiet Bayreuth! However, it will be a pleasure if Mr Candidus wishes to call on me .... Jager has had proposals for repetitions of "Gotterdammerung": there is something in the works. Let him sing Siegmund for once: it will be better! But what is the name of the cafe on the corner at Karthnertor? - ugh! ... But now an end to all the talking, and come visit us for once - you've shilly shallied for long enough! ... Your obedient servant, R Wagner "

Wagner, three pages, 8vo, Bayreuth, 7th August 1887, to an unidentified Belgian musician, in French. Wagner discusses the production of Die Walkure in Brussels, commenting `The matter of Walkure in French seems to me of great importance. What I have been told of the execution of the mise en scene has proven how much zeal has been put into the work. The photograph from Act II is absolutely consistent with the directions of the libretto….I regret in the first act in Brussels they were influenced by liberties taken on German opera stages. Hunding`s abode is entirely shut and only the double door is open….Siegmund does not perch himself….` A letter of good musical content. VG. Die Walkure is the second of the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner. It is the source of the famous piece Ride of the Valkyries.
