NZM 1918 p. 254: "Auf dem um 12. und 13. Oktober stattfindenden Musikfest in Meiningem werden einen Orchesterfantasie von Marie Prinzessin von Sachsen-Meiningen, ein sinfonisches Gedicht für Orchester mit Gesang von Fritz Fleck, ein Streichquartett von Richard Wetz und eine Violinsonate von Robert Kahn zum ersten Male gespielt werden."
