 * Full details of the working of the thumb keys are given in the Specification; and mention is made “of a very simple and small instrument of only a few octaves” (to be called a symphonietta), “which will be a very cheap and handy instrument for the traveller, for accompaniment, or for the musical instruction of children.”

 * Whilst the first Gewandhaus concert was devoted to the old masters, and the second solely to living composers, the third brought us a work by one of the greatest masters that ever lived, a symphony by Haydn (in flat major № 8 of Breitkopf and Härtel’s edition) and two works by living composers, the variations on a theme of Haydn by Brahms, and a symphonietta for string instruments by Gustav Jensen (brother of the well-known lieder composer, Adolf Jensen), who lives in Cologne, teaching at the Conservatoire. The symphonietta was new to us.
