Władysław Tarnowski ps. Ernest Buława (1836-1878) opera "Achmed oder der Pilger der Liebe", „Ballet” z II Aktu, składający się z 3 cześci przeplecionych ze sobą: Khelas (taniec arabski) z Królem i [jego córką] Dolorez na tronach oraz świtą dworską, Gitana (taniec solo z kastanietami), Eros i Psyche (Oto są dwa posągi ogrodowe, budzi się najpierw Eros, opuszcza swój cokół. Budzi Psyche jednym pocałunkiem – pieszczą się w ogrodzie[;] gonitwa za motylem. Wreszcie człowiek zjawia się w ogrodzie, oni biegną szybko do cokołów i na powrót kamienieją.) [Warto tu zwrócić uwagę na obraz Artura Grottgera „Rozmowa posagów” z roku 1865, namalowany w Śniatynce – posiadłości Stanisława Tarnowskiego zwanego „Białym” przyjaciela, mecenasa i modela Artura Grottgera a rodzonego brata kompozytora Władysława Tarnowskiego, obraz wydaje się stanowić inspiracje do tej części Baletu. Stąd zilustrowanie muzyki do ostatniej części Baletu fragmentami obrazu Artura Grottgera.] Kolejność ma być wedle partytury następująca: Khelas, Gitana, (Khelas ze śpiewem tu pominietym), Gitana, Eros i Psyche – część A, Gitana, Eros i Psyche – cześć B z gonitwą za motylem. Opera ta jest oparta na opowiadaniu Washingtona Irvinga opublikowanym w "Tales of the Alhambra', autorem libretta był Wladysław Tarnowski, który także przetłumaczył opowiadanie (Powieść o księciu Ahmedzie al Kamel albo o pielgrzymie miłości.) Akcja opery dzieje się na terenie dzisiejszej Hiszpanii a głównym bohaterem jest syn władcy Grenady. Partytura: Władysław Tarnowski ps.
