Beethoven cycle at Carnegie Hall draws full house again
The New York Symphony Society played the Beethoven cycle third concert at Carnegie Hall to a sellout audience. Damrosch Barrére and Mesnard performed the Trio for harpsichord flute and bassoon with a pianoforte, which critics said ill suited the piece.
