...excellent one being bright and taking, and of interest throughout. The orchestral pieces, a Persian "Schah-Wache," an arrangement for strings of Schumann's very well worn "Traeumerei," and a Slavonic Dance by Drorak, were well played; the latter especially evinced careful preparation, and a considerable degree of finish, and was warmly received by the audience.
