Ignatz Moscheles in Vienna - in the middle of 1853
from Recent Music and Musicians, page 378:
Fortunati comes, occasionally as a hearer, sometimes, too, as a player. When he brought the overture to Verdi's 'Nabucco' arranged as a pianoforte duet, to try it over with Serena, she lost all patience with his inability to keep time, while at every claptrap rhythm he exclaimed exultingly, 'Oh che bella sinfonia!'
