“The next concert will be under the direction of Mr. Carl Bergmann. Let no one attend it—or the rehearsals—whose physical health is not good; whose nerves are not of the strongest; whose courage is not unquestionable. The music to be played is of the extremest character, and all for the ‘future.’ There are Liszt’s ‘Faust’ Symphony; Wagner’s Introduction to ‘Lohengrin,’ and Weber’s overture to ‘Euryanthe.’ Let us hope that the directors will provide a suitable hospital staff and an ambulance corps for the occasion.”

“Usually this gentleman’s partiality for the new school—a partiality which we freely confess he has ably justified—leads him to extremes. There are sufferers who yet remember his last programme, and recall the ‘Faust Symphony’ with groans and execrations.”
