Abstract
A Liedertafel concert at which the former Governor His Excellency Sir Henry Loch and Lady Loch were present was reported in theIllustrated Australian News and Musical Timesof 1889 as follows:In the course of some remarks Lord Loch made the statement that the advancement of musical culture in Melbourne is to be attributed to the influence of Germans. Now although the community includes some excellent musicians of that nationality, the opinion expressed by our late governor is by no means in accordance with facts. It is only just that honour should be given where it is due and the untiring efforts of the English musicians in the colony in educating public taste ought to be thoroughly recognised.
