Commenting [in 1869] on Saint-Saëns's Second Piano Concerto (with a musical example); and [in 1881] explaining his reluctance to travel to cities such as London and Paris, saying that "la triste exécution de la Messe de Gran, en [18]66, et les verbiages consécutifs m'aient laissé une pénible impression," etc. Saint-Saëns's transcriptions of the letters appear at the end of the manuscript of his essay "Franz Liszt," which is described under Saint-Saëns's name.
