Notes
I am grateful to J. Falleyn for providing program information from the Essener Volks-Zeitung on December 2. In regard to Rachmaninoff's own works, a Moment musical op. 16 (presumably no. 2) is mentioned in place of the Etude-Tableau (as had been played in Paris on December 1), and a 'Prelude in B minor, op. 33' is indicated in place of the one in G major (which could be a misprint for op. 32, no. 10). Reviews following the concert in both the Essener Allgemeine Zeitung (December 4) and Essener Volks-Zeitung (December 5) do not provide details regarding Rachmaninoff's works. Satina noted that the Chopin Waltz in A flat major could be either op. 42, or op. 64, no. 3, or op. 69, no. 1, and that she believes that the Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableau was op. 39, no. 6.
