San Francisco Call, 29 January 1899.
The coming of Teresa Carreno next week will mark the appearance of another famous piano player this season. From all the big critics this woman has received high praise, and there can be little doubt that she ranks anywhere but at the top. She has been called everything, from the Valkyrie of the keyboard to the lioness of the pianoforte. She plays Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin and Brahms, and is said to excel in Rubinstein and Liszt. Her technique is said to be next to flawless and her temperament simply Vesuvian. The recitals take place in Metropolitan Temple on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday afternoon of the week to come.
