Review: New York Post, 13 May 1872, 2.

“The fourth and last matinée of the young pianist Alfredo Barili, on Saturday at Chickering Hall, afforded the liveliest satisfaction to the audience. Several of the pieces were vehemently applauded, and of two an encore was given. In the first part, the Donizetti duo of Mrs. Bump and Mr. Charles Barber (who kindly volunteered his assistance in place of Prof. Ettore Barili, this artist being unavoidably absent,) was very brilliantly rendered, and in the second part, instead of the Rossini cavatina announced in the programme for Professor Ettore Barili, the well-known Santley song of ‘Only to Love’ was given with great effect.

“Of the young pianist’s two performances of the Miserere from Trovatore, in the Fantaisie of Prudent, or Chopin’s ‘Scherzo in B minor,’ it is quite unnecessary to say that they charmed all who were so fortunate as to hear them.”
