You know what the programme of the first concert was.[56] The second began with a Symphony by Nowakowski[57] (par complaisance) followed by a repetition of the first Allegro of my Concerto. Then the Theatre Concert-master, Bulawski, played an Air Varié, by Beriöt, and I, my Allegro and Rondo again. The second part commenced with the Rondo Cracovienne. Meier sang an air from Solivaʼs opera, “Helene and Malvina,” and, in conclusion, I improvised on the Volkslied “W—miescie dziwne obyczaje,” (there are strange customs in the town) which very much pleased the people in the first rows. To be candid I must say that I did not improvise as I had intended, but, perhaps, that would not have been so well suited to the audience. I wonder that the Adagio pleased so generally; from all I hear, it is with reference to this that the most flattering observations have been made. You must have read the newspapers, and you will see that the public were very pleased with me. A poem, addressed to me, and a large bouquet were sent to my house. Mazurkas and Waltzes are being arranged on the principal themes from my Concerto. Brzezina asked for my likeness, but I declined giving it. This would be too much all at once, besides I do not like the prospect of butter being wrapped up in the paper on which I am pourtrayed, as was the case with Lelewelʼs portrait. Wishes are expressed on all sides that I should give a third concert, but I have no desire to do so. You would not believe the excitement one has to go through for some days before the performance. I hope to finish the first Allegro of the second Concerto before the vacation, so I shall wait, at any rate, till after Easter, although I am convinced that I should have a larger audience than ever this time; for the “haute volée” have hardly heard me at all yet. At the last concert a stentorian voice called out from the pit, “Play at the Town Hall,” but I doubt whether I shall follow this advice; if I play again, it will be in the theatre. It is not a question of [Sidenote: PROCEEDS OF THE CONCERTS.] receipts with me, for the Theatre did not bring me in much. (The cashier, to whom everything was left, did as he liked.) From both concerts, after all expenses had been deducted, I did not receive quite 5,000 gulden,[58] although Dmuszewski, editor of the _Warsaw Courier_, stated that no concert had been so crowded as mine. Besides, the Town Hall, where the anxieties and arrangements would be many, would not please everyone. Dobrzynski[59] is vexed with me for not performing his symphony. Frau W. took it amiss that I did not reserve a box for her, &c., &c. I close this letter unwillingly, because I feel as if I had not told you anything interesting yet. I have reserved all for the desert which is nothing more than a warm embrace.
