The Wilkes-Barre Record (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) bringt auf S. 9 den 2. Teil eines Berichts über das Leipziger Musikleben, den eine amerikanische Musikstudentin im Musical Courier veröffentlicht hatte und in dem auch das Konzert vom 22.10.1896 (mit dem Adagio der 7. Symphonie) zur Sprache kommt:
" THE DIVINE ART.
Extracts from the Letters of a Miss of Sixteen Who Goes to Leipsic to Study Music.
No. II.
There is a horse race out at the track to-day (Sunday) and the streets are full of people. Rich people drive by in their swell carriages, and they do look so superior!

[... angesprochene Themen: u. a. Wohnsituation, Haus als Statussymbol, Privatstunden bei S— [Hans Sitt?], andere Musikstudenten, Opernbesuche (zweimal Walküre mit Malten/Gulbranson [mit Malten am 1.10.1896], Rienzi [12.10.1896], Hugenotten, Tristan), César Thompson, Arthur Friedheim, Willy Burmester, Ausfragerei am Konservatorium, Winderstein-Orchester, Harmonielehrestunde ...]. Last week I heard the Gewandhaus orchestra for the first time, and it was great. The violinists in the orchestra all stand up when they play; it looks so queer.
Nikisch is a handsome man and a fine conductor, but I don't think the orchestra plays any better than our Boston Symphony or Thomas', but they do play as well. Just think of hearing them once a week for twenty-four weeks! There are a few Conservatory students in the orchestra who play for the honor of it, as well they might. The program consisted of the Faust symphony for orchestra and männerchor, by Liszt; adagio from Symphony No. 7, by Anton Bruckner; serenade for string orchestra and solo, No. 3, D minor, by R. Volkmann, and the overture to Der Freischütz, by Weber. I liked some of the Faust, but much of it was very tiresome. The Bruckner adagio is a beautiful thing and I hope I will have a chance to hear the whole symphony some time. I liked the Valkmann [sic] serenade best of all. It is a lovely composition.
...... Wednesday evening I heard The Huguenots, with Madame Adini as Valentine [28.10.1896]. [... und Tristan (zu lang, schlechtester Tristan-Sänger) in Anwesenheit Siegfried Wagners [31.10.1896] ... Burmesters Erfolg ... 11./12.11.1896 sehr gutes Konzert ... nächster Mittwoch Feiertag!! [18.11.1896] ...]. – Musical Courier." (***).
