Commentary:

No further details given by the source. An advertisement published in Prager Morgenpost 17/10/1858 had related that appearing at this venue would be ‘Stammberg’s Sextet each Monday’. The 31/10/1858 advertisement noted only the event, ‘Concert’, the venue and the time but did not specify a particular ensemble. Given that 1/11/1858 was a Monday it seems reasonable to suppose that the participating ensemble was Stammberg’s Sextet. Interestingly, no other source noted an appearance of this sextet at the venue, or indeed of any other musical event occurring there on either Monday 18/10/1858 or 25/10/1858 following the original Morgenpost advertisement.
