MR. MOSCHELES’S CONCERT.
The Concert of M. Moscheles took place at the Argyll Rooms on Monday the 16th of June. Mr. F. Cramer led the band, and Mr. Cramer sat at the piano-forte as conductor. A strong vocal phalanx assisted on this occasion, amongst whom were Mesdames Camporese, and Ronzi de Begnis; Madlles. Caradori, Paton and Goodall, Signors Begrez, De Begnis, Mr. Welsh, &c. The rooms were all full, and the performance was excellent. M. Moscheles played a new concerto, in which deep musical knowledge and fancy were happily blended; in his finale he introduced the well-known English tune, the Grenadier’s March, and put every head, and almost as many hearts, into motion. In the second part he performed a fantasia, extempore, and excited as much astonishment by the readiness of his invention, as by the indescribable rapidity of his execution, and power of hand. The two principal airs, of which this piece consisted, were the romance from La Donna del Lago, given in our Third Number, and the Scottish air inserted in the present. The applause he gained was almost tumultuous, and it was really deserved.

London. Concert des Hrn. J. Moscheles am 16tenJuni. Es ist schwer, von Hrn. Moscheles und seinem Concert ohne grosse Ausführlichkeit nach Gebühr zu sprechen; denn es war unleugbar eins der allervorzüglichsten, die diesen Sommer öffentlich Statt gehabt haben. Ueber sein Spiel haben sich die Kunstrichter in Lobeserhebungen erschöpft, und sie begnügen sich, nunmehrseine Leistungen auf dem Pianoforte als Muster, wenn auch unerreichbare, aufzustellen. Man kann sich kaum denken, wie es möglich ist, auf den Zuhörer stärker, fast möchte man sagen, heftiger zu wirken, als Hr. Moscheles es thut. Offenbar liegt der Grund davon in der Allgewalt, welche er über sein Instrument hat, welche alle Stufen vom Leichten zum Schweren verschwinden macht. Sey es, dass wir bey diesem Concert den freywilligen Beystand so vieler berühmten Künstler oder die zahlreiche, glänzende Gesellschaft, welche den ganzen Saal und alle Nebenzimmer füllte, erwägen; immer bleibt es ein ehrenvoller Beweiss von der Achtung, in welcher Hr. M. hier zu Lande steht. Wenn gleich Mad. Salmon und Dem. Stevens, die prime donne des englischen Gesanges, nicht mitwirkten, so bildeten dagegen die andern englischen und die italienischen Sänger ein Personale, so schön wir es selten im Philharmonischen Concerte gesehen. Es ist hinreichend, die Namen Camporese, Goodall, Caradori, Paton, Ronzi de Begnis nebst ihrem Gemahl, Welsh, Begrez u. s. w. anzuführen. Es war erfreulich, Hrn. J. B. Cramer seinem jüngern Kunstfreunde in der Anordnung und Leitung des Ganzen so zur Hand gehen zu sehen. Unter den vorkommenden Musikstücken machte am meisten Aufsehen ein ganz neues Pianoforte-Concert E dur von Hrn. M. Man könnte es mit Recht die Krone seiner Werke nennen, durch Neuheit und Eigenthümlichkeit der Ideen nicht weniger als durch ihre gelehrte und kunstreiche Behandlung. Im letzten Satze halte er den bekannten englischen Grenadiermarsch zum Thema gewählt, wodurch er den Engländern ein reichlich zinsendes Compliment machte. Die Ausführung war in jeder Hinsicht der Vortrefflichkeit des Werks entsprechend. In der zweyten Abtheilung trat Hr. Moscheles noch zweymal auf: mit der hier so beliebten Phantasie auf eine Romanze Blangini’s von ihm für die Stimme, Pianoforte, Flöte und Harfe gesetzt, und einer Phantasie extempore, welche über alle Beschreibung ist. Die freye Phantasie ist hier eine ganz neue Gattung des Spiels, und eine vor Hrn. Moscheles noch nicht betretene Bahn zum Ruhm. Sie ist ganz eigentlich sein Feld, weil sich nur so das Feuer seines schöpferischen Geistes in ungehemmten Strömen ergiessen kann. Die hiesigen Zeitungen sprechen darüber also: „Seine freye Phantasie erregte eben so viel Erstaunen durch die Leichtigkeit der Erfindung, als durch die unbeschreibliche Fertigkeit und Kraft seiner Finger. Der Beyfall, welchen er einerntete, war tumultuarisch, und er war wirklich verdient“. Harmonikon No. 7. Und andere Blätter. Wohl mag Deutschland auf einen solchen Mann stolz seyn. Und wie dankbar würden seine Landsleute es erkennen, wenn sie wüssten, was für Dienste er seinem Vaterlande erweiset, dadurch dass er bey jeder guten Gelegenheit den hohen Werth der grössten deutschen Genien ins rechte Licht stellt, dass er unermüdet ihre besten Werke durch Wort und That zu verbreiten sucht, dass er immer mit der grössten Verehrung von dem unvergleichlichen Mozart spricht.
