Review: Dwight's Journal of Music, 22 April 1871, 16.

“Last night there was a concert given at Steinway Hall, for a charitable purpose, by the ‘Aschenbroedel-Verein.’ Miss Krebs played Liszt’s concerto in E flat, and Mr. Wenzel Kopta a concerto in A minor (No. 8) by Spohr and a Romance in F, for the violin, by Beethoven. A large orchestra (of 100 members) played the overture to ‘Ruy Blas’ and two minor pieces. Whatever the charitable purpose, it could have not been benefitted much, as three or four hundred persons was the most that could be got together.”
