拍品資料及來源

Having been forced to leave Munich at the end of 1865, Wagner was, at the time of the present letter, residing at a villa overlooking Lake Lucerne. Here he found the necessary tranquillity to work on Die Meistersinger, and one topic of discussion with Ludwig II during their meeting in Munich on 10 March was indeed the future production of the work.
