Commentary:

News that the ‘The first concert of the Society for the Benefit of Artists [Vereins zur Berförderung der Tonkunst] takes place at 12 noon on 12th March in the Konvikt Hall’ was announced by Tagesbote aus Böhmen 21/2/1854. Evidently this report was inaccurate and premature; the first concert of 1854 to be given by the Society for Musical Artists did not take place until April. On 12/3/1854 the Conservatory gave one of their annual concerts at 12 noon in the Konvikt Hall.
