“Music was poor and barren today. It’s melancholy to think what might be made of the Sunday Services at Trinity by an organist or Musical Director capable of appreciating Ecclesiastical Music of the first order. But Diller is hardly yet firm in the seat vacated by the inane and serviceless Cutler and may prove himself competent to distinguish between Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Nares, Tallis, Jones, Smith, Brown, in A.B.C.D. and X.”
