Author and recipient were pianist-composers active in Europe. Kalkbrenner asks Moscheles to sign a receipt for the sale of 2 concertos and gives news: music of Neate and Potter is being played by the Philharmonic Society rather than Beethoven symphonies; Cramer just missed breaking his thumb in a freak accident; Madame Pasta had a successful debut; and Kiesewetter played like a demon.
