     “Liszt’s Preludes were brought out at the last Sunday concert at Irving Hall. Having taken his subject from one of Lamartine’s nonsensical ‘meditations,’ the composer, in a boldly outlined but too highly colored picture, huddles together the most violent contrasts, and sets aside all rule for the purpose of introducing some outlandish effects. The orchestral massing in the martial movements, however, is really grand and soul-inspiring, and partially redeems the mediocrity of the rest of the work. On the occasion we refer to the programme comprised the overture to the Merry Wives of Windsor, a horn solo by Mr. Schmidt, with flute obligato by Mr. Eben; a harp solo by Mr. Toulmin, and soli by Mr. Pollack and Signor Severini. The latter utterly destroyed the effect of ‘Come Into the Garden, Maud,’ and ‘Ye Merry Birds,’ there not being a redeeming quality in his rendering of the two songs.”
