Incorrectly calls this concert the sixth in the series; no review of the actual performance. Gives program. “…Quartet in F, op. 135, Beethoven, (which Watson’s ‘American Art Journal’calls ‘a dreary unintelligible composition,’ giving ‘painful evidence of an unbalanced mind, ‘ &c., &c.) On the other hand, the Weekly Review says: ‘The last mentioned quartet was the last Beethoven wrote, and may be considered one of all the celebrated quartets of this composer, which is more easily understood and appreciated than the others.’ Thus do the critics, who shy stones at us some times, devour each other! As for their opinions, are they not equally ‘interesting and valuable’?”
