Boston Phil-harmonic Society

As I stopped my presentation at the place of Boston, I would like to tell you more about those concert that moves to Boston and New York.

This is the Concert program from Boston Phil-harmonic Society held on 30th January, 1847.

This concert featured Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony but presented in a very unusual order by today’s standards. In between the first and second movements, the audience heard the ballads “Love’s Young Dream” and “The Gipsy Girl’s Dream”. But this is by request, according to the program. Then, followed by a dramatic scene from Auber’s Fra Diavolo and a piano concerto by J.N. Hummel. The second movement of Beethoven’s Fifth concluded the first half of the program, and only after intermission did the orchestra perform the rest of the symphony.
