= Very rare collection of pieces written in the year 1842, as a response to "the hysteria that throbbed around the virtuosos (...). The giddy tributes offered to Liszt in Berlin during the winter of 1842 provoked some prompt sarcasm. A pamphlet appeared, called Das Lisztige Berlin, lampooning some of the excesses committed under the influence of the famous musician's vapor. The title, which involves an untranslatable pun, means something like "sly Berlin." A first issue was snapped up so eagerly that the anonymous author brought out a second, with new jokes, and even a third. The booklets contained such tales as that of the lady who devoutly cut out and cherished a piece of couch cover from the very spot on which Liszt had sat; or a low-brow discussion of the current Lisztitis in Berlin dialect in a beer-hall; and another in Yiddish dialect in a pawn-shop (...)."
