Commentary:

Bohemia 17/3/1850 published a post-event report that this production of Liedertafel was attended by as distinguished a number of members as the previous production [28/2/1850]. The event, taking place in the ‘friendly’ rooms of the venue was characterized by the utmost conviviality. Among the works rehearsed were Schmidt’s Trinklied and an unspecified German song by Kalliwoda [Kalivoda]. The former was rehearsed only briefly, apparently owing to its ‘debilitating, intoxicating vivacity’.
