3. Liszt pulls a switcheroo (Your Classical).
Excerpt (for February 4, 1837): Franz Liszt performs a chamber recital in Paris (at the Salle Érard), featuring the then-unfamiliar Piano Trios of Beethoven; At the last minute, the performers decided to reverse the printed order of the program, performing on the first half of the concert a trio by Pixis, and a Beethoven trio on the second half; The audience (and critics) warmly applaud(Submitted on August 17, 2022.)the Pixis, mistakenly thinking it was the Beethoven work, and react coolly to the Beethoven, assuming it was by Pixis; Among the critics, only Berlioz notices the program switch."courtesy of the New York Public Library3.
