In fact, Liszt was quoting from Wagner: a handful of manuscripts for ‘Ich möchte hingehn’ are known to survive and only one of these incorporates the bar in question, added on a pasted-on slip to a copyist manuscript by Liszt around 1858, after he had been shown the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"\"\u003eTristan\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e score by Wagner and heard it performed (for the most recent discussion of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"\"\u003eTristan \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003emotif, see \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci style=\"\"\u003eNineteenth-Century Music: Selected Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e, eds.

That multiple compositional drafts for this song exist illustrates the way in which Liszt worked on his Lieder, continually revising them across the years until they became, essentially, new works, often unrecognizable from the original versions (for more on this process see Rena C.

During this process, between 1856 and 1859, Liszt used paper originally meant for orchestral music, cut down or torn from larger sheets, as here.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093838155935,"sku":"23195","price":12500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Liszt_Ich_Mochte_Hingehn_Autograph_MS_23195c.png?v=1722190716","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/23195-liszt-franz-ich-mochte-hingehn-autograph-musical-manuscript","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
