“The Beethoven trio was given with good effect, the Andante being particularly well rendered. We have no better interpreter of Beethoven than Mr. Hoffman, and Mr. Bergner is an artist always to be relied upon. Mr. Burke plays the violin con amore, and with considerable skill, but is not always correct in his intonation. In the second part Mr. Hoffman’s ‘Cuban Dance’ was encored, and he responded with a fantasia on airs from Mignon, introducing ‘Non conosci il bel suoi,’ ‘Leggiadre rondinelle,’ and the Polonaise.”
