And from the Composers Datebook:
On this day in 1841, at a fund-raising concert in Paris for the
Beethoven monument to be erected in Bonn, Franz Liszt performs
Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto with Berlioz conducting. Richard Wagner
reviews the concert for the Dresden Abendzeitung. The following day,
Chopin gives one of his rare recitals at the Salle Pleyel, and Liszt
writes a long and glowing review for the Parisian Gazette Musicale.
