Review: New York Sun, 16 January 1871, 2.

“Two pianoforte concerts of more than ordinary interest were given on Saturday last, one in the afternoon at Steinway Hall, by Miss Marie Krebs, and the other in the evening at Chickering’s, by Mr. Richard Hoffman. At both works not only of difficulty, but of the highest intellectual reach and the most delicate beauty, were performed. A rare privilege is accorded to the young students of the piano in the opportunity given to listen to the works of the masters interpreted by such eminent musicians.”
