A unsigned report appeared in Prager Morgenpost 23/1/1859 noting that of the new events organized as entertainments for the Carnival season, this series of dance garlands, themselves ‘favourite all-year [round] entertainments in the Konvikt Hall’ were particularly worthy of mention. The second entertainment was deemed to be ‘as welcome’ as the first. ‘The society was again refined and numerous. The tasteful decoration of the Hall, provided by the decorator Mr Leichner, deserves acknowledgement. The pieces of music were executed by the distinguished Regimental musical ensemble of the Infantry Regiment of Baron von Wernhardt.’ No further details of the musical content of the programme were related.
