“This evening, Mr. Gottschalk will give one of his beloved concerts at Niblo’s Salon.”
“Gottschalk gave another brilliant concert last night, a very agreeable and unexpected addition to the programme being some fine duet playing by himself and Mr. Harry Sanderson—the first time this performer has appeared here since his return from Havana. Both pianists played exceedingly well, appearing to best advantage in a duet for two pianos arranged from the ‘Ballo in Maschera.’ Gottschalk during the evening gave some of his choicest compositions, Carlo Patti played the violin, D’Angri and Sipson sang, and the applause and encores were frequent.”
“An unexpected pleasure was improvised for Mr. Gottschalk’s patrons on Wednesday evening last. It was announced that Mr. Harry Sanderson (who has been absent in Cuba, and giving concerts throughout the island with great success) was in the room, and would assist Mr. G. in the interpretation of the programme. The news was so welcome and unexpected that it resulted in a perfect demonstration for the New-Yorker. It would be hard, indeed, if this amiable, kind-hearted and surprisingly gifted young artist did not have friends; and we hope that he will give them an opportunity of doing something more than idly bursting their gloves and aggravating their shins in his behalf. Sanderson should immediately give a couple of concerts. He has specialties as a player, and merits as a composer, that distinguish him from all other players, and make him a never-failing favorite with the public.”
