Talk:Peter Cornelius

this seems like a good reason, not an excuse
"Cornelius's relations with the so-called "New German School" of composition were sometimes rocky. For instance, he did not attend the premiere of Tristan und Isolde, using the premiere of his own opera Der Cid as an excuse." unless his opera was premiering a wildly different night, or he wrote "excuse" in his diary, seems like a good reason to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.11.48 (talk) 23:17, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
