On s'en est servi dans une cantate d'Elsner et dans les chœurs de Faust, du prince Antoine Radziwill, exécutés au concert de Jawurek, dans lequel le jeune Chopin improvisa sur le nouvel instrument. Bientôt après, Wûrfel se fit entendre sur Paeolo-melodilcon, autre instrument inventé par Brunner, qui produisit une vive sensation."
