“The thirty-second Sunday concert at Steinway Hall last evening attracted the usual large audience. The orchestra played selections from Beeethoven, Mozart, Nicolai and Mendelssohn. Morgan gave some of his inimitable organ solos, Mlle. Pauline Canissa sang excerpts from the works of Guiglierno, Chopin and Lindplatt; Mr. Mathison, tenor, sang Comfort ye, my People, and Tom Rowling (curious contract) [?] Mr. Hugo Bussmeier, pianist, made his debut. The debutant has a hard, heavy, and we might say, clumsy touch and a want of clearness and intelligibility in his method, which serves as a fatal offset to his excellent technique. His Rigoletto fantasia was a very poor imitation of Liszt, and was bunglingly performed.”
