Directly under the program, the Herald published a related letter to the Editor dated 1865/09/29: “Having been almost from the commencement a weekly attendant [sic] of the Saturday afternoon concerts given at the Park, I have had an abundant opportunity to study and know the tastes of those present, and have found that the music given is not generally appreciated as it ought to be. People who go there as not of the critical kind, but those who do so enjoy the music as well as themselves. Music more lively than the present programmes is what is wanted, Opera music, no doubt, is very fine and artistic, but it is not as a general thing lively and does not enliven people like dancing music and some of the popular sons would. What is wanted is a programme more richly interspersed with such music, but with the present style of programme the closing piece called the Union is the one most appreciated. [Signed,] A Lover of Music.”
