Ignatz Moscheles in Weimar - between 1856 and 1860
from Recent Music and Musicians, page 396:
Liszt sat down to the piano, and I heard, to my no small astonishment, my old Op. 42, Variations on the pretty Austrian melody which I had consigned to oblivion for the last forty years. He played them by heart, and introduced startling effects. He then gave us his own organ Fantasia on the letters B-a-c-h, a piece full of extraordinary combinations, and stupendously played.
