 Liszt's new works did not find guaranteed success in their audiences, especially in cities where listeners were accustomed to more conservative music programming.While Liszt had "a solid success" with "Prometheus" and "Orpheus" in 1855 when he conducted in Brunswick, the climate for "Les Préludes" and "Tasso" that December in Berlin was cooler.His performance of "Mazeppa" two years later in Leipzig was almost stopped due to hissing from the audience.
