Review: New York Herald, 09 March 1875, 3.

“Yesterday afternoon, in the small hall of Steinway, Mr. Jerome Hopkins gave a lecture on ‘Music,’ and played his own fantasia in ‘Il Trovatore,’ Pauer’s caprice ‘La Cascade,’ a work by Stephen Heller, the military polonaise of Chopin and Mendelssohn’s Wedding March. The pianist lecturer was very well received.”
