Liszt first visited Weimar in 1841 to give two concerts for the enjoyment of the ducal family. On this visit, he can scarcely have imagined that he would settle in the town full time for a whole decade and continue to be a frequent visitor for the rest of his life. In 1841, he was embarking on the most successful and lucrative years of his performing career. He was such a hit that the Grand Duke invited him to return the following year when he was offered the position of ‘Kapellmeister in Extraordinary Service’. For the next six years, Liszt returned to the town on an ad hoc basis, often conducting concerts to celebrate the birthdays of the Grand Ducal family.
