[6] In his memoirs, Bos recalls that the famous violinist Joseph Joachim, Van Veen's teacher, wrote a very positive letter about the trio's concert in the hall of the Berlin University of the Arts in March 1903.

Joachim himself and Emanuel Wirth were invited as guests to play with the Dutch Trio Brahms' Piano quintet.

In January 1904, "Il trio olandese" visited Venice resulting in two well-received concerts in La Fenice.

[8] At a concert dedicated to the tenor Ludwig Wūllner, as part of his tour of 18 performances in the Netherlands with Coenraad Bos, the Dutch Trio played on October 31, 1906 for the first time in the Concertgebouw.

[9] The acclaim endured in Berlin according to a review in 1908 that describes a very highly regarded trio that had been active for ten years.

However, the solo capabilities of the other two musicians did not completely convince Het Nieuws van den Dag [nl].

[11] Before starting the second concert, Van Veen insisted that the correspondent of the newspaper exit the hall before they would play even a single note.

In the novel Julian by Elisabeth Overduyn-Heyligers published circa 1916, the main character of the same name is a young violinist living in Berlin.
