Announcement: New York Sun, 23 August 1869, 2.

“Theodore Thomas’s concerts have been crowded during the past how weather.  The material of his orchestra could hardly be better and the solo performance of Levy gives the liveliest pleasure.  So remarkable a cornet player hardly exists as Levy, and the annals of music mention but few equal to him in purity of style and manliness of tone.”
