On the back of this programme is written an amusing parody on Krylov's fable "The Donkey and the Nightingale" in which Brodsky is portrayed as the nightingale. This was written in very tiny hand-writing on 11 April 1880, the day after the concert. The programme includes a variety of soloists: pianists, singers and Brodsky himself who plays Tartini's "The Devil's Trill" in the first part of the concert and Wieniawsky's "Legende" followed by a Brahms Hungarian Dance in the second part. The concert was held on 10 Apr 1880.
