There is the old debate about who borrowed from whom, i.e. Liszt from Wagner or Wagner from Liszt. Liszt eventually became Wagner's father-in-law after Liszt's daughter Cosima left her imperious but talented musician-husband, Hans von Bulow. Von Bulow was once a student of Liszt.

Cosima was a Bitch with a capital B. She went out of her way to downplay her father's achievements in favor of her husband and when Liszt happened to die while visiting them in Bayreuth she insisted he buried there and not in Hungary or France which he had much more of a connection there. She was also much more anti-semitic then her husband and met with Hitler in the 1920s.
