Teresa Carreno will repeat her piano-forte recital in Cambridge on Monday evening next. Tomorrow evening she will give her farewell concert at the Music Hall in this city, when she will play for the first time in public "The Sonata Pathetique" by Beethoven. Every lady upon entering the hall will receive a carte de visite of the little pianist, as a souvenir d'adieu. The programme includes the Caprice of Mendelssohn which she played last Saturday evening, accompanied by the orchestra of the Philharmonic concert.

Teresa Carreno.

In consequence of the inclemency of the weather, the concert which was to have been given at the City Hall, on Thursday evening last, by this wonderful child pianist, was postponed, and will be given on Monday evening next. (new para) All who were present at her last concert, were highly delighted with her performances, and as this will be the last opportunity to listen to her, we have no doubt our readers will avail themselves of it.

Cambridge Chronicle, February 7, 1863.

Teresa Carreno.

The second concert given by Teresa Carreno, the little pianist, at City Hall, on Monday evening last was quite a successful one. The hall was well filled at an early hour,--all wishing to take the last opportunity to hear this youthful prodigy, as she leaves for Havana this week. The audience, particularly the youthful portion, listened intently to the performances of little Teresa, the children showing by their smiling and astonished faces the feeling of admiration with which they regarded this little girl of their own age, who discoursed such difficult music with such apparent ease. The closing piece was of her own composition, the second movement of which was a waltz which she played as a duet with her father. The programme was entirely different from that of the preceding concert, and of quite an interesting character, embracing works from Beethoven, Thalberg, and other eminent composers.
