| Summary | "Correspondence of Wagner and Liszt — Volume 2" by Richard Wagner and Franz Liszt is a collection of letters between these two prominent figures in the realm of classical music, written during the mid-19th century. This volume chronicles their thoughts, struggles, and the dynamic relationship they cultivated over their artistic endeavors, touching upon themes of friendship, artistic integrity, and personal hardships. At the start of this volume, the reader is introduced to the correspondence that captures moments from Wagner's life, highlighting his emotional turmoil and artistic aspirations. The initial letters reveal Liszt's response to Wagner's opera "Lohengrin," discussing its performance in Leipzig and expressing his admiration while also pointing out areas for improvement. Wagner, in turn, communicates his own struggles with life and creativity, illustrating a profound sense of despair over his financial situation and the lack of appreciation for his genius, even as he recognizes Liszt's unwavering support. This opening sets the stage for an exploration of their friendship amid the challenges they faced in the music world, giving us insight into the minds of two legendary composers.
