Herald.
The home of Franz List. at Weimar
for forty years or more. is a two-story
villa situated on the outskirts Of the city
opposite park laid out by Goethe. The
villa was given to the great pianist by
the late Grand Duke Charles Alexander
of Saxony, when he invited List to his
capital to become the successor of Hum
mel as director of the opera house List
accepted that position in 1919 and re-
tanned it for ten years at a salary of
$1,000 year. but he made a great deal of
money from his compositions and from
his concerts and instruction.
Although he refused to accept fees from
most of his pupils. he did SO in cases
where they were amply able to pay. He
resigned his position director of the
opera because the grand duke would not
permit him TO present a composition of
oriental magnificence. probably because
of the expense. Years before the arrival
of List in Weimar that little city was
famous for the perfe elton of its opera;
he enhanced that reputation and made it
the mecca of musicians from all over the
world. The standard of excellence estab-
lished by him has since been maintained,
diiu even HOW many critlcS tnlnK the pest
opera in Europe can be seen at Weimar.
Lizst remained in Weimar after resign
ing his position, and was allowed to
cupy the villa although he spent great
deal of his time at first in Rome and aft
erward at Budapest, where he was made
the director of the Royal Conservatory of
Music. At his death he bequeathed to
the museum at Budapest a valuable col
lection of curios, works of art. manu-
scripts and a general musical library
The villa at Wei,nar is in charge of
his servant Paulina, who lived with him
for many years. and entertains tourists
with gossip about his life and habits She
does not attempt to deny his habtuaI
lapses from morality and his disregard
of the marriage relation.
