Liszt conducted his own work possible, and whenever possible and he made no exception of this concert. The popularity of the two pieces was already well established; the score to Les Preludes had been published earlier in the same year as this, though it is likely that the pieces had not been heard in St. Gallen before as this is the first recorded visit of Liszt to the town since writing the pieces (Walker, sec. 6).

The final piece, Beethoven's Third "Heroic" Symphony, had been composed in 1803-4 in honor of Napoleon, which made the choice somewhat ironic given tat the confederacy of cnatons that makes up Switzerland chaffed heavily under the republic enforced by the conquering emperor ("Eroica").

No additional advertisements or reviews were located regarding this concert, so additional information pertaining to the specific reception of these performances is unavailable. All of the necessary details regarding the performance before it happened are located on the program, leaving the audience of the time no doubt with a sense of anticipation, but not any frustration born of ignorance. Doubtless having heard of both the conductors and the composers listed on the program, there is little doubt that Herr Sczandowsky sold his concert well.
