———————————
Charlotte: Moscheles was present at a delightful performance of the Walpurgis Night [Die erste Walpurgisnacht] given at the house of Felix’s parents; the solos were performed by Mantius, the Devrients and Frau Thürschmidt. Beethoven’s Polonaise and Moscheles’ Sonata in E flat were played by him and Felix, and Mantius and Devrient sang from the Liederspiel The Son and the Stranger. It was a charming evening. A similar party is alluded to on the 14th of October. [RMM, 182-183.]
