"The pupils and professors of this well-known musical establishment gave a concert Monday evening at Steinway Hall, which was very numerously attended. The programme, consisting of selections from Auber, Wely, Meyerbeer, Bellini, Massini, Wallace, Mercadante, Mozart, Flotow, Verdi, Haydn, Pacini, De Beriot, Kreutzer, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Clay and Schroeder, was rendered by the pupils [lists names]. Mr. Fradel undertook the office of accompanist, a trying one in a Conservatory concert. Signor Morosini played a piano solo and Professor Henry Schroeder, the President of the Conservatory, conducted the concert in a manner that was calculated to make it a success. A word of warning may be necessary to managers of concerts of this kind. Avoid all unnecessary operatic displays and keep pupils to the rendering of works within their reach. Sometimes a difficult aria may prove a disastrous failure in the hands of pupils possessed of much undeveloped talent.”
