MY MUSICAL EXPERIENCES spirits. It is with a sense of the deepest gratitude that I now recall the enviable hours which I had the good fortune to spend with you in St. Petersburg; above all, the never-to-be-forgotten enjoyment which fell to my lot when one day you were so good as to let me listen to your incomparable playing. This has, if I may so express myself, left a deep imprint on my memory ; so much so that, in now resuming my pianoforte studies after a long interruption, the memory of what I then heard is a source from which I draw most fruitful instruction and helpful stimulus. May I at the same time be permitted to lay at your feet a work in which I believe I have not only given a useful guide to pianoforte literature as regards the general public, but likewise a useful help for in- structive purposes. If it meets with your approbation it will be a great pleasure to me, but I in no way count upon your expressing any open opinion with regard to it. I may say, great Meister, that my life has taught me how to estimate the great value of time. ' It will interest you to hear that I found my father- in-law. Dr. Franz Liszt, in the best of health and in the full swing of productivity. During his short visit to Germany last autumn my illness unfortu- nately prevented me from bearing him company in any of his various tours to Carlsbad, Wei'nar, and Paris ; and the happiness of being with him for any length of time—at all times seldom possible—was
HENSELT 321 accordingly much diminished. <strong>My</strong> wife accompanied her father as far as Paris, and from there he, after a few days, returned to Eome, which, I am sorry to say, he for the future looks on as his settled home. I make free to take this opportunity of acquainting you that I am just about moving to Munich, where I have been summoned by his Majesty the King of Bavaria
