“Edward Mollenhauer gave a grand classical musical soiree at Irving hall last night. The audience was the largest and most fashionable assemblage that any concert hall has witnessed this season and the programme was a most brilliant one. First there was a charming quintette by Mozart, then came Beethoven, followed by Chopin, Schumann and Neumann. The brothers Mollenhauer and Bernard played splendidly and Pattison eclipsed all his former efforts in Chopin’s beautiful rondo. Misses P. Goodhinn [sic], E. Thompson and H. Danziger, pupils of Edward Mollenhauer’s musical conservatory, played on the occasion and were very successful. Mlle. Frederici also sang. Chopin’s rondo was the great feature of the soiree and Mr. Pattison in it added more laurels to his already plethoric wreath.”

Review: New-Yorker Musik-Zeitung, 19 January 1867, 376.

“The concert was very well attended by a connoisseur audience. The ‘artistic significance’ of this concert was less than that of former concerts.”
