Review: Dwight's Journal of Music, 11 April 1868, 224.

“At another, also under Mr. Ritter’s direction, given at Mlle. Rostan’s Young Ladies’ School (New York), Pergolese’s [sic] Stabat Mater, for Soprano and Contralto voices, was given entire, with the original string quartet accompaniment. The ‘Ladies’ Vocal Society,’ connected with the school, furnished the vocal part, and Messrs. Matzka, Gipner, Schwartz and Bergner the instrumental. The Stabat was preceded by Beethoven’s E-flat Trio, op. 1, and followed by Liszt’s Lucia Fantasia, played by Mr. Mills.”
