Commentary:

Bohemia 12/2/1850 published news that a cycle of evening musical entertainments [musikalischen Abendunterhaltungen] given by [members of the Institute of] J. Proksch would, as usual, be taking place this year on Sundays in Lent at 5pm in the rooms of the Institute. Brief details were given of the works to be performed in the first of these events. The last of these works was listed as ‘Die Theilung der Erde, Gesangstück von Haydn’, a work that during the nineteenth century was attributed to Haydn but was actually the composition of Reiter von Roser.

The date, time and venue of the first of Proksch’s entertainments were listed in the Tagesanzeiger texts of Bohemia 15/2/1850 and 17/2/1850.
