Review: New York Herald, 08 August 1874, 5.

“…She has a crisp, faultless touch, wonderful execution for one so young, clear phrasing and neatness of expression, and will prove a valuable addition to our already large stock of pianists. Her style of playing reminds one very much of Arabella Goddard. Mlle. Heilbron is also the fortunate possessor of a full, rich, well-cultivated contralto voice.”
