Nietzsche also attended, and their meeting resulted in later invitations. Zimmern spent a few weeks in Sils Maria in the summer of 1886, where Nietzsche used to reside in the summer months in those years. Their discussions in this summer must have helped Zimmern quite a lot, when later translating Jenseits (of which she got 2 presentation copies). The last favorable publication of Nietzsche on Wagner, followed by bitter attacks in FALL WAGNER and NIETZSCHE CONTRA WAGNER. The 4th and last Observation, a series originally.
