Diary Entry of February 14, 1875
With no word from Richter, the Meiningen Quartet instead comes in the afternoon, and they prove to be warm and agreeable company. In the evening they enjoy Beethoven’s quartets in E-flat major and F minor after R. has carefully explained his intended tempos and nuances.

No news from Richter, instead the Meiningen Quartet in the afternoon! Friendly, well-disposed people, who delight us, and a little party in the evening with Beethoven’s E-flat Major and F Minor Quartet, after R. had explained to them his nuances and his tempi.
