———————————

Moscheles: Sheffield, February 5th, 11 o’clock [after the concert].—The concert is over. To-day was a busy one, and while writing to you I feel like a stage-coach horse just arrived, and steaming after his work is over. I was up at 5, started at 6, here by 3.30. Immediately went off to rehearsal; then dinner and concert. They wanted The Fall of Paris again, but I only played the finale twice, and escaped a threatened encore of my extempore playing by bowing my acknowledgments. [RMM, 188]

Reviews

Sheffield Independent (February 9, 1833): 2.

THE CONCERT.—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Dawson gave what was announced as the last concert of the season. We are sorry to announce that on this occasion, the attendance was scarcely sufficient to repay the outlay of the manager. The attractions of the evening were certainly not very numerous; but it might have been anticipated that the reputation Mr. Moscheles has obtained as one of the first pianists of the day, would have drawn together a larger assemblage of the amateurs. His fantasia, in the first part of the concert, embodying what the musician termed “Recollections of Ireland,” produced what is generally called “a sensation” amongst his hearers. Miss Hardman sung two or three songs during the evening, in a very pleasing and promising manner. Notwithstanding “the last concert of the season” has been, as far as the manager is concerned, a failure, we trust the general success which Mr. Dawson has met with during the season, will encourage him to further exertions for the gratification of the musical public.

THE LAST CONCERT.—The result of this final attempt for the season, is not likely to encourage Mr. Dawson or anybody else again to run the risk of paying the piper. Will it be believed that the saloon was scarcely half full? and that too, with such a musical banquet as was never before offered to a Sheffield audience.—Shame! shame!
