Details of this event, the second concert given in Prague by Bondy in 1857, were published by Tagesbote aus Böhmen 6/12/1857. The source reported that ‘Miss Josefine Bondy, who already with her first concert has forged the opinion of the our music-loving public, and now in a short while leaves for Vienna, has for the concert taking place today in the Konvikt Hall chosen a rich programme, and gained the participation of Messrs Bachmann and Bennewitz [Benevic]. The concert-giver performs Beethoven’s Sonata in C minor (together with Mr Bennewitz [Benevic], Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s Lied ohne Worte in B [H?], Liszt’s Campanella, Schumann’s Am Abend, a Polonaise by Chopin, and Mortier de Fontaine’s le Papillon, as well as Mr Bachmann with Storch’s Allein and Lachner’s Geständniss.’

A review, signed ‘-h.’, of this event was published by Tagesbote aus Böhmen 8/12/1857. The correspondent reported: ‘The second, final Concert of the Viennese pianist Miss Jos. Bondy (Sunday afternoon) gained as numerous attendance as the first. The concert giver opened (supported by Mr Bennewitz) with the favourite C minor Sonata for piano and violin (no.2 from the op.30 trilogy), a light but irrepresible work by the Master. The first and last movements were the most clear and correct, performed with very elastic touch and great nuance. In the performance of the A–flat major Adagio, which was very expressive, the pianist lacked calmness; in the passagework which supported the violin, the left hand was more delicate than the right... thus passages were blurred [and] the violin had too little rhythmic support. There were also some blurred passages in the Scherzo. Mr Bennewitz handled his part very well. The other five slighter pieces of the concert–giver, whose choice was already marked by an appreciable striving for tastefulness and elegance, were very clean and performed with polish; the most brilliant effect was Miss Bondy’s performance in Liszt’s Campanella, her most subtle and delicate performance was in Schumann’s charming little piece Am Abend and in Mortier de Fontaine’s Le Papillon. In Mendelssohn’s Lied ohne Worte (B–flat major) the pianist’s treatment of the melody was not wholly even in repetitions of the melody in the same hand. The Study by the now unfashionable Thalberg was the most popular. – Miss Bondy received very warm approbation. – Mr Bachmann supported the concert with two Lieder, wherein the magnificen voice and the fresh, delicate performance by the singer gained the most vigorous applause following both pieces (Allein by Storch and Geständniss by achner), and encored the second song.’

The description of the programme by the reviewing correspondent suggests that the unpecified Polonaise by Chopin was perhaps substituted by the Study by Thalberg.
