Viardot, Pauline. (1821-1910). Letter to Hermann Krigar. 2 pages, dated Baden, July 5 [no year]. Translated from the German, in full:
"Honored Sir, I will lend my name on the title page of your 'vergängliche lieder' [passing songs] with the greatest pleasure and maybe I can sing them for you while I still have a voice for them. We firmly intend to stay in Berlin for 2 whole months next winter - all of us together. The children are anticipating it with pleasure and their Mother even more so. It will be a real joy for me to live with my family in the pleasant circle of artists, most of whom I have known through you. With best regards to Mrs Kriger I remain, very honored Sir, with sincere feelings - Pauline Viardot."
Hermann Krigar (1819-1880) was a German pianist and composer who studied at Leipzig with Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Hauptmann (1843-45) and later organized a singing society in Berlin. He wrote incidental music, motets, psalms, piano pieces, and songs and was an important member of the Berlin musical community.
