Frank Van der Stucken's "Novelty Concerts" in New York, Miss Adele Margulies played the second and third movements from the first piano concerto. In the same year Mme. Carreño played on tour in America three movements from the second suite, and in the following September she played at the Worcester Festival of that year the "Hexentanz" of op. 17.

"Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch' entrate" of Dante. The Præludium of the second piano suite, op. 14, is also annotated, having been suggested by lines from Byron's "Manfred." In the "Zwei Fantasiestücke", op. 17 "Erzählung" and "Hexentanz" but more particularly in the "Wald-Idyllen" of op. 19 "Waldesstille," "Spiel der Nymphen," "Träumerei," and "Driadentanz," a definite poetic concept is implied.
