• Černý's Sextet: participating ensemble

The Vergnügungsanzeiger of Mercy’s Anzeiger 13/10/1854 reported ‘Today Friday... in the Café Buresch... Concert’. An advertisement was published by Mercy’s Anzeiger 6/10/1854 in both the German- and Czech-languages, and was specific in identifying the ensembles performing music at this venue. This source announced: ‘In the newly renovated Cafe of Jan Bureš [Kaffee des Johann Buresch], in Dominikánské ulici, plays each Friday from 4pm until midnight the excellent Sextet of Mr Černý, and on Sunday also until midnight the no-less splendid Sextet of Mr Březovský.’ The advertisement, which was repeated in the issue of Mercy’s Anzeiger 9/10/1854, was signed by the owner of the venue, Johann Buresch [Jan Bureš]. The German version of the advertisment specified ‘spielt jeden Freitag [plays each Friday]’ while the Czech version gave ‘hraje v pátek [plays on Friday]’. On subsequent Fridays throughout the autumn season records appearing in the weekly Friday Vergnügungsanzeiger of Mercy’s Anzeiger that specify an event in Buresch’s Café have been assumed to include performances by Černý’s Sextet.’
