MISS GOODALL’S FAREWELL CONCERT.

The exemplary conduct of this young Lady, together with her musical talents, were rewarded by an overflowing audience at the Argyll Rooms, on Wednesday evening.

SAPIO, T. WELSH, TERRAIL and PHILLIPS, Miss STEPHENS, MISS ANDREWS, the Misses CAWSE, Miss GOODALL and Madame CARADORI, in the vocal department, and Messrs. MOSCHELES, KIESEWETTER and NICHOLSON, in the instrumental, acquitted themselves to the high gratification of the company. MOSCHELES in his extemporaneous performance on the Pianoforte, introduced the beautiful Welsh air “The Ash Grove,” better known as “Cease your funning.” Also parts of WEBER’S beautiful Overture to Oberon, in the most masterly manner. Mr. LODER, of Bath, led the Band, and Sir GEORGE SMART conducted. The latter Gentleman was Miss GOODALL’S instructor, but she is about to change masters; and although her name ha [sic] ever been All-good—still, we understand that she is about to change that too, and that her motto is—“Non Nobis Solum.”

Warwick and Warwickshire Advertiser (May 13, 1826): 1.

Miss Goodall, who is soon to change her name, had a farewell concert on Wednesday evening, at the Argyle Rooms, which was most numerously and flatteringly attended.

The Quarterly Musical Magazine and Review, vol. 8 (August 1826): 177.

We must also record that Miss Goodall gave her farewell concert previous to her marriage. Though this young lady never can be said to have taken rank with those of the first class, she stood at the head of those of the second, while her knowledge of music, her facility in reading at sight, and her acquaintance with all styles, supported by her uniform sweetness of manner and desire to be serviceable, placed her amongst the singers most universally required, both in public and in private concerts. She had been before the public for some years, and her successor will not be easily found. It gives us also the greatest pleasure to state that in private life she was most amiable, and retires from a profession, to which her conduct made her an ornament, with universal esteem.
