“…Dr. Pech, the conductor of this society, has prepared for this concert another of those admirable little brochures called programmes, but which, both for their literary and typographical merit, deserve a more pretentious name. the forthcoming programme contains careful analyses of the two great works to be performed at the next concert.

We may add here that such descriptive programmes would be a vast aid to the enjoyment of the Philharmonic and other more elaborate concerts which are given in this city.”
