When I was last in Germany, I found German taste striving to grant Wagner and the Trumpeter of Sakkingen equal rights; while I myself witnessed the attempts of the people of Leipzig to do honour to one of the most genuine and most German of musicians, using German here in the old sense of the word, a man who was no mere German of the Empire, the master Heinrich Sch tz, by founding a Liszt Society, the object of which was to cultivate and spread artful listige Church music.
