March 20 1917 (Julian calendar)

Satina indicates that this was the Second Extra Symphony Concert in the season of Sergei Koussevitzky. An audience was permitted to attend the dress rehearsal before the concerto, on March 19, for a small fee, as Apetian also notes. Keldysh (p. 409) quotes a review of the concert, which indicates that Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody no. 12 was played as an encore (although the review in Muzikalny Sovremennik, 1917, no. 19, p. 12, mistakenly refers to the date of this concert as March 25, a point clarified by Keldysh). The Zon Theatre stood where the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall now stands. LoC, Sergei Rachmaninoff Archive, ML31.R33, Papers of Sophie Satin, boxes 82-89.
