Charlotte: Wirklich reist er am 2. Januar ab; zuerst nach Bath, wo wieder Alles mit dem gewöhnlichen Erfolg verläuft, sodass der ersten Improvisation eine zweite folgen muss. Die nächste Concertstation (3. Januar) war Liverpool. Es wird von Interesse sein, die Beschreibung dieser Reise in Moscheles’ eigenen Worten ungekürzt wiederzugeben, weil sie die Beschwerlichkeiten, die damals mit einer grösseren Reise verknüpft waren und von denen unser Dampfzeitalter sich kaum mehr einen Begriff machen kann, eindringlich vorführt.[1] [AML I, 112.]

[1] According to Charlotte, Moscheles performed in Liverpool on January 3, and the previous day in Bath. Yet the concert in Bath was advertised for January 3, and there are not any advertisements for a concert in Liverpool at the time.

Review

The Bath Chronicle (January 5, 1826): 3.

Mr. LODER’S Benefit Concert took place last evening the Rooms, and was attended by the principal persons of taste and fashion in Bath, for whom a rich treat was provided by the worthy leader and director of the Subscription Concerts. We regret that owing to a particular accident to our manuscript we ate not able at present enter into further particulars of this very admirable performance, which afforded to all present the utmost gratification, and was highly creditable to the distinguished taste and talents of Mr. Loder.
