“A matinée of chamber music at Steinway Hall yesterday was of more than ordinary interest. First, there was a better understanding between the two great virtuosi and their assistants, and consequently more equality in the ensemble. Again, the works selected for the occasion were attractive in the highest degree. A lively quartet for piano, violin, viola and ‘cello, by Schumann, the one in E flat; Mozart’s string quartet in G minor, and Rubinstein’s trio in B flat, were rendered by Rubinstein, Wieniawski, Matzka, Goffrie, Schwarz and Bergner in superb style.”
