Synthesized answer
The provided passages discuss experiments with alternating currents of high potential and high frequency [1]. A key concept is that very high frequencies are desirable for producing certain results in these experiments [2]. High frequencies are useful not only for the effects they produce but also as a convenient way to generate the high potentials needed for many of the contemplated experiments, using induction apparatus [2].
While the passages emphasize the importance of high frequencies and high potentials, they do not fully explain "the key concepts" in Tesla's own words. The lectures presented here deal with alternating currents of high potential and high frequency [1]. The degree to which very high frequency is essential is a question that would be difficult to answer even with present experience, as some experiments can be done with low frequencies [2]. However, the passages do not elaborate on what these "key concepts" encompass beyond the general subject matter.

From the book
Title: Experiments with alternate currents of high potential and high frequency by Nikola Tesla Description: A lecture delivered before the Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, February 1892. Complete with illustrations.A short time ago I had the honor to bring before our American Institute of Electrical Engineers some results then arrived at by me in a novel line of work. I need not assure you that the many evidences which I have received that English scientific men and engineers were interested in this work have been for me a great reward and encouragement. I will not dwell upon…
frequency is essential for the production of the results presented is a question which, even with my present experience, would embarrass me to answer. Some of the experiments may be performed with low frequencies; but very high frequencies are desirable, not only on account of the many effects secured by their use, but also as a convenient means of obtaining, in the induction apparatus employed, the high potentials, which in their turn are necessary to the demonstration of most of the experiments here contemplated.
