The leaflet was printed by Franz von Schober in the 'Lithographic Institute' that he had acquired. The date was printed incorrectly as 28 March. 'Privat' indicated that the concert was not organized by an official society in Vienna. ['Privat' should be read as 'personal' not 'private', since the latter would mean that the concert was not open to members of the general public.
