Abstract
The results of my previous research on concerts which Ivan Padovec (1800-1873), a Croatian guitar virtuoso and composer, gave in Vienna, were published in 2006 in the proceedings of the symposium held on the 200th anniversary of his birth (Zagreb, Varaždin, 2000). They presented two sources from the then-popular Viennese newspaper Allgemeine Theaterzeitung und Originalblatt für Kunst, Literatur und geselliges Leben, edited by A. Bäuerle, which reported on Padovec's concerts in Theater an der Wien (in 1831, as a Zwischenaktkonzert) and «im langen Hause» (in 1832, as a benefit concert for the blind).
My recent investigation resulted in the identification of the third source, found in the same newspaper - a report of a public concert that Padovec privately organized togetherwith «his pupil» Joseph Benedikt at the famous Viennese restaurant «Zum römischen Kaiser«. Among other artists - some of them unnamed, and some quite unknown – Padovec and Benedikt played two concertant guitar pieces by Padovec himself. The reviewer was impressed by their virtuosity, but was not satisfied with the lack of their interpretative expression.
It also seems that this is the last report on Padovec's public playing in Vienna.
