• Music Institute of Josef Proksch: pupil(s) of institute

Bohemia 4/3/1851 published a report that Proksch was arranging five musical soirées given by pupils of his institute. The dates, time and venue of the five events were specified, and the programme of works to be performed in the first of the soirées listed. The Tagesanzeiger text of Bohemia 9/3/1851 noted the date, time and venue of this event.

The works for multiple pianos were probably arranged by Proksch, although this was not specified by the above source text. The ‘Aria von Aless. Stradella’ was most likely have been Niedermeyer’s Pieta signore, wrongly attributed to Stradella for much of the nineteenth century.
