Review: Courrier des États-Unis, 24 November 1862, 2.

Yesterday, a sacred concert at Wallack's former hall, attracted all those who prefer serious music to vulgar trifles [knick-knacks, gew-gaws]. The holy names of Mozart and Weber don't reappear often enough on the posters of New York's theaters, because the dillettanti deny themselves the pleasure to hear real music at the German opera."
