William Beatty-Kingston in Vienna - late 19th Century
from Music and manners; personal reminiscences and sketches of character, pages 35-37:
The Festival of Fools [held in Vienna] which I attended during the Carnival of 1868-9...From the shifting mass of colour occupying the body of the hall arose a devilish din, made up of hooting, trombones, yelling, kettledrums, whistles, gongs, tomtoms, ophicleides, tambourines, bells, laughter, street cries, and fifty other undefinable noises.
