Review: Dwight's Journal of Music, 13 February 1869, 400.

“Herr Alves and Miss Millet were the soloists. The latter is a pianist who has studied in Europe and who made her debut on this occasion. Her style is small, and she works her elbows freely; but on the other hand her touch is crisp and neat, and her scale passages are all really praiseworthy.”
