[2] A different scene by Greatorex with Miss Stephens, Messrs. J. B. Sale, Knyvett and Vaughan was advertised instead by The Morning Post on May 10 and 11 and The Morning Chronicle on May 11 (but not on May 18) and it was supposed to be performed after Moscheles’ piano fantasia.
[3] The Morning Post on May 10 and The Morning Chronicle on May 11 advertised the song ‘With verdure clad’ from Haydn’s Creation instead. However, ‘Daughter of Love’ was advertised by both newspapers on May 18.
[4] After the ballad, a violin solo by Mr. Mori was advertised by The Morning Post on May 10 and by The Morning Chronicle on May 11. The solo was then removed from the programmes on both newspapers on May 18.
[5] Advertised only by The Morning Post on May 18.
[6] The Morning Post on May 10 and The Morning Chronicle on May 11 advertised the five voices glee ‘It was a lover’ by Stevens instead.

Review
The Harmonicon, vol. V (July 1827): 148.
MR. VAUGHAN’S,
King’s Concert Rooms, Hanover Square, Friday, May 18th.
Madame PASTA first gave a feeble air of PACINI; and after wards the favourite “Ombra adorata!” MORI and MOSCHELES each played fantasias on their respective instruments. A good selection from Dr. CROTCH’S Palestine, and another from a fine Mass, by EYBLER, hitherto unknown to most people in this country, were performed with effect. We regret to say that Mr. VAUGHAN’S’ voice was not sufficiently restored to allow him to do more than join in the concerted pieces; but he was assisted by Miss Stephens, Miss PATON, Madame CARADORI, Mrs. W. KNYVETT, Messrs. KNYVETT, SALE, BELLAMY, &c. Leader, Mr. F. CRAMER; conductor, Mr. GREATOREX.
