Commentary:

The Prager Morgenpost 21/1/1859 advertisement, which previously appeared in the issue of that newspaper on 17/1/1859, reported that every Wednesday and Sunday a Dance entertainment [‘Tanz-Unterhaltung’] would be given in the Coffee house in Leonardplatz nr.113-1 (formerly known as ‘Lerche’). No further details of the event or its musical content was given but the advertisement was repeated on later dates, indicating that these regular productions did take place.
