Liszt: Marie D'agoult
built 645 days ago
On September 15, in Alençon near Rennes, in the first part of a letter to Marie d'Agoult, Liszt took German language as their "secret language" of love. In most passionate style, surpassing everything he had written in earlier letters to her, he wrote: "O, wie heiss, wie glühend ist noch dein letzter Kuss auf meinen Lippen! Ja, dir, Herzliebste, für dich alles!"[138] The change of style indicates that shortly before an important event, the beginning of their sexual life, had occurred. After a stay of three weeks in La Chênaie Liszt returned to Paris. Passing Alençon again on October 11, he wrote a new letter to Marie d'Agoult. For this time he quoted from an old announcement of the magistrate of Croissy.

Liszt himself began a ten year relationship with Marie d'Agoult who left her husband in 1835 to elope with Liszt to Switzerland where he taught at the Geneva Conservatoire. They had three children, Blandine, born in December of that year; Cosima in 1837, and Daniel in 1839.

Liszt had been announced for a concert on November 22 at the church St. Vincent de Paul. Together with Chrétien Urhan he would play Beethoven's "Kreutzer-Sonata". But the audience waited in vain for him. While according to an official excuse he had been involved in repetitions for the concert of Berlioz on November 23, he neither performed at that concert.[156] His behaviour can be understood, when looking at the present state of his relation with Marie d'Agoult.

Some critics relished Liszt's amorous affairs, which fueled scathing attacks and vivid imaginations. But it must be noted it was primarily the women who hounded Liszt, who was a handsome young star who grew up to be an iconic figure, and as such was constantly exposed to women with an agenda. Liszt did get entangled with several women, but tabloids back then were no different than those of today, as human nature doesn't change that much, and many affairs were pure fabrication - blowing the reality into a viagra-like distortion of preposterous proportions. Yet, although Liszt certainly had a weakness for woman he was predominantly cited as being kind, generous and a gentleman. Although his relationship with Marie d'Agoult was unorthodox he did stand firm to gain custody and support his children. He even refused Wagner a loan on the grounds of saving for his children's education.
