LISZT, Franz (1811-1886). Autograph manuscript signed of the last 16 bars of the piano arrangement for two hands of the Second Mephisto Waltz, inscribed Anstatt die 8 Letzen Takte kommen diese 16 Takte, black ink, 15 bars, mounted with a lock of Liszt's hair preserved on a card dated Weimar 1884 on the verso of the cover of the printed edition of Valses Caprices, and the 1883 Cranz edition of the Valses Caprices no. 6, signed and dedicated to Carl Lachmund, Weimar, August 1883, (paper of the former extremely brittle).
Although Liszt refers to sixteen bars in the present manuscript he has in fact only written out fifteen, omitting the seventh bar before the end, which is a repeat of the previous bar and which appears in the published work. The inscription on this manuscript is clearly an instruction to the engaver.
The orchestral version and the piano transcriptions of the waltz were composed in 1880-1 and the former was first performed on 9 March 1881 in Budapest, conducted by Sandor Erkel.
The Soirées de Vienne were originally composed in 1852-3 and are paraphrases of Schubert's Waltzes, opp.9,33 and 77. Cadenzas for no's 6 and 9 were composed in 1883 and published by Cranz in the present edition. Liszt performed No. 6 of the Soirées de Vienne at his last concert in July 1886.
Carl Lachmund was a pupil of Liszt, whom he first met in 1882, and wrote Mein Leben mit Franz Liszt (Eschwege, 1970). This manuscript was bequeathed to the present owner by Lachmund's only daughter.
