———————————

Moscheles: …the Mendelssohns’ gave an evening party, when David’s quartet playing was admirable. I played my E major Concerto and Studies. To end up, Felix called for my repertoire of tricks on the piano, and we extemporized together as a finale, a production quite as good as our last effort in London. [RMM, 272.]
