A significant fact in last night's meeting was, that no reasons were brought forward as to why we should take such...
...characteristic in the playing of the quartet marked their efforts last night; and the perfect harmony of the whole could not help but bring clearly out the force and exceptional superiority of the artists. The rendering of "Adagio manon troppo" of the first part of the programme and "Andante con moto" of the second part, deserves especial mention.
